Outdated?

8/17/2018

I have been preaching through the OT book of Proverbs at GBC. This week, I've been studying the tongue, the power of words, how we should speak, not speak, etc. And I am again reminded of just how current and relevant the Word of God is. Some would say the Bible is outdated and irrelevant. I contend just the opposite. Here's an example of why.

Try applying these Proverbs to social media and today's public discourse in general.
​
  • Proverbs 10:19 "When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent."
  • Proverbs 12:18 "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."
  • Proverbs 12:25 "Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad."
  • Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
  • Proverbs 15:28 "The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things."
  • Proverbs 17:28 "Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent."
  • Proverbs 18:2 "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."
  • Proverbs 18:13 "If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame."
  • Proverbs 20:3 "It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling."
  • Proverbs 21:23 "Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble."
  • Proverbs 29:20 "Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him."

Outdated, irrelevant? Apparently not. We (including me) need this truth today!
