A Mature Tongue

Paul compares God's Church on earth to a large construction project with a variety of
workers performing all kinds of tasks. The Ninth Commandment challenges us as to
whether we are using our words to work constructively or destructively on this project.
Do we build others up or tear others down with our speech? Can Jesus Christ be seen
in the words we say?

1. Our words are a doorway into our soul.

2. Our words are to be "full of grace."

3. Our words reveal the level of our Christian maturity.
