1-INTRODUCTION

    The Bible tells us that people in the latter days would be murmurers and grumblers. As it is written, THESE ARE MURMURERS (grumblers-NIV)-Jude 16. Jesus will soon come TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT upon these-Jude 15. What else does God's Word say on this topic?

    We are also commanded to DO ALL THINGS WITHOUT MURMURINGS AND DISPUTINGS-Phili 2:14. A person that murmurs and disputes commits sin.

    LET NO CORRUPT COMMUNICATION PROCEED OUT OF YOUR MOUTH-Eph 4:29.
  
IF ANY MAN AMONG YOU SEEM TO BE RELIGIOUS, AND BRIDLETH NOT (does not keep a tight rein on) HIS TONGUE, BUT DECEIVETH HIS OWN HEART, THIS MAN'S RELIGION IS VAIN (he deceives himself and his religion is worthless-NIV)-Ja 1:26.

    Jesus tells us, BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED-Mt 12:36,37.
THOU ART SNARED WITH THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH-Pv 6:2.
  
FOR THY MOUTH UTTERETH THINE INIQUITY, AND THOU CHOOSEST THE TONGUE OF THE CRAFTY. THINE OWN MOUTH CONDEMNETH THEE, AND NOT I: YEA, THINE OWN LIPS TESTIFY AGAINST THEE-Job 15:5,6.

    The book of James says that THE TONGUE IS A LITTLE MEMBER, AND BOASTETH GREAT THINGS. BEHOLD, HOW GREAT A MATTER A LITTLE FIRE KINDLETH! AND THE TONGUE IS A FIRE, A WORLD OF INIQUITY: SO IS THE TONGUE AMONG OUR MEMBERS, THAT IT DEFILETH THE WHOLE BODY, AND SETTETH ON FIRE THE COURSE OF NATURE; AND IT IS SET ON FIRE OF HELL. FOR EVERY KIND OF BEASTS, AND OF BIRDS, AND OF SERPENTS, AND OF THINGS IN THE SEA, IS TAMED, AND HATH BEEN TAMED OF MANKIND: BUT THE TONGUE CAN NO MAN TAME; IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL, FULL OF DEADLY POISON. THEREWITH BLESS WE GOD, EVEN THE FATHER; AND THEREWITH CURSE WE MEN, WHICH ARE MADE AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD. OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEEDETH BLESSING AND CURSING. MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT SO TO BE-Ja 3:5-10. The prophecy of murmurers and grumblers in the last days is fulfilled—now.

2-THE TONGUE AND TALEBEARERS: IDLE TALK

    It is written, Mt 12:34-36-O GENERATION OF VIPERS, HOW CAN YE, BEING EVIL, SPEAK GOOD THINGS? FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKETH. A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF THE HEART BRINGETH FORTH GOOD THINGS: AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE BRINGETH FORTH EVIL THINGS. BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.

3-YOUR OWN SIN PROMPTS YOUR MOUTH

    Jesus tells us,  Lk 6:45 NIV-THE GOOD MAN BRINGS GOOD THINGS OUT OF THE GOOD STORED UP IN HIS HEART, AND THE EVIL MAN BRINGS EVIL THINGS OUT OF THE EVIL STORED UP IN HIS HEART. FOR OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF HIS HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKS.
  
Pv 18:7 NIV-A FOOL'S MOUTH IS HIS UNDOING, AND HIS LIPS ARE A SNARE TO HIS SOUL.
  
Pv 29:20 NIV-DO YOU SEE A MAN WHO SPEAKS IN HASTE? THERE IS MORE HOPE FOR A FOOL THAN FOR HIM.
  
Pv 21:23-WHOSO KEEPETH HIS MOUTH AND HIS TONGUE, KEEPETH HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLES.

    The Bible tells us, Eph 4:29-LET NO CORRUPT COMMUNICATION PROCEED OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, BUT THAT WHICH IS GOOD TO THE USE OF EDIFYING, THAT IT MAY MINISTER GRACE UNTO THE HEARERS.

4-EMOTIONS PROMPT QUICK SPEAKING AND EVIL

    The Bible tells us, 1 Pe 3:4-BUT LET IT BE THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, IN THAT WHICH IS NOT CORRUPTIBLE, EVEN THE ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET SPIRIT, WHICH IS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD OF GREAT PRICE.

5-FULL OF WORDS AND HASTY TO SPEAK

    If you do not have a calm spirit, it is difficult to hear the Lord speak to you.
  
God’s Word warns those that are full of words and quick to speak.
  
Pv 13:3-HE THAT KEEPETH HIS MOUTH KEEPETH HIS LIFE: BUT HE THAT OPENETH WIDE HIS LIPS SHALL HAVE DESTRUCTION.
  
Ecc 5:7-FOR IN THE MULTITUDE OF DREAMS AND MANY WORDS THERE ARE ALSO DIVERS VANITIES: BUT FEAR THOU GOD.
  
Ecc 5:3-FOR A DREAM COMETH THROUGH THE MULTITUDE OF BUSINESS; AND A FOOL’S VOICE IS KNOWN BY MULTITUDE OF WORDS.
  
Pv 29:20-SEEST THOU A MAN THAT IS HASTY IN HIS WORDS? THERE IS MORE HOPE OF A FOOL THAN OF HIM.
  
Ecc 10:14-A FOOL ALSO IS FULL OF WORDS: A MAN CANNOT TELL WHAT SHALL BE; AND WHAT SHALL BE AFTER HIM, WHO CAN TELL HIM?

6-BE STILL: BE SLOW TO SPEAK

    You may wish to try this experiment. Take a group of several people and have everyone begin talking at once. Then speak to the group with a quiet voice. Can they hear you while everyone is talking? In like manner, can you hear the still small voice of God speaking to you? To hear God speaking, we should, Ps 4:4-STAND IN AWE, AND SIN NOT: COMMUNE WITH YOUR OWN HEART UPON YOUR BED, AND BE STILL. SELAH.
  
Ja 1:19-WHEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, LET EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, SLOW TO WRATH.

7-LET THY WORDS BE FEW

    The Bible also tells us, Ecc 5:2-BE NOT RASH WITH THY MOUTH, AND LET NOT THINE HEART BE HASTY TO UTTER ANY THING BEFORE GOD: FOR GOD IS IN HEAVEN, AND THOU UPON EARTH: THEREFORE LET THY WORDS BE FEW. Pv 17:27,28-HE THAT HATH KNOWLEDGE SPARETH HIS WORDS: AND A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING IS OF AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT. EVEN A FOOL, WHEN HE HOLDETH HIS PEACE, IS COUNTED WISE: AND HE THAT SHUTTETH HIS LIPS IS ESTEEMED A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING.

8-TALEBEARERS AND TATTLERS

    God commands us, Lev 19:16-THOU SHALT NOT GO UP AND DOWN AS A TALEBEARER AMONG THY PEOPLE: NEITHER SHALT THOU STAND AGAINST THE BLOOD OF THY NEIGHBOUR: I AM THE LORD. Thus, we see that talebearing is sin.
  
1 Tim 5:13-AND WITHAL THEY LEARN TO BE IDLE, WANDERING ABOUT FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE; AND NOT ONLY IDLE, BUT TATTLERS ALSO AND BUSYBODIES, SPEAKING THINGS WHICH THEY OUGHT NOT.
  
Pv 11:13-A TALEBEARER REVEALETH SECRETS: BUT HE THAT IS OF A FAITHFUL SPIRIT CONCEALETH THE MATTER.
  
Pv 26:20-WHERE NO WOOD IS, THERE THE FIRE GOETH OUT: SO WHERE THERE IS NO TALEBEARER, THE STRIFE CEASETH.
  
God’s Word tells us, Pv 6:16-19-THESE SIX THINGS DOTH THE LORD HATE; YEA, SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO HIM:
  
A PROUD LOOK,
  
A LYING TONGUE,
  
AND HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD,
  
AN HEART THAT DEVISETH WICKED IMAGINATIONS,
  
FEET THAT BE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO MISCHIEF,
  
A FALSE WITNESS THAT SPEAKETH LIES,
  
AND HE THAT SOWETH DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN.
  
It may be noted that three of these involve the tongue.
  
It is written, Pv 6:23-FOR THE COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP; AND THE LAW IS LIGHT; AND REPROOFS OF INSTRUCTION ARE THE WAY OF LIFE. Definition: Talebearing is telling something about another person to someone who cannot do anything about it (or is not in a position to help).

9-MURMURINGS AND DISPUTINGS

    We are to, Phili 2:14-DO ALL THINGS WITHOUT MURMURINGS AND DISPUTINGS.

    Ex 16:8-AND MOSES SAID, THIS SHALL BE, WHEN THE LORD SHALL GIVE YOU IN THE EVENING FLESH TO EAT, AND IN THE MORNING BREAD TO THE FULL; FOR THAT THE LORD HEARETH YOUR MURMURINGS WHICH YE MURMUR AGAINST HIM: AND WHAT ARE WE? YOUR MURMURINGS ARE NOT AGAINST US, BUT AGAINST THE LORD.
  
Jude 16-THESE ARE MURMURERS, COMPLAINERS, WALKING AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; AND THEIR MOUTH SPEAKETH GREAT SWELLING WORDS, HAVING MEN’S PERSONS IN ADMIRATION BECAUSE OF ADVANTAGE.

    Warning: Watch your words. Be careful how and what you speak, lest your words condemn you at the judgment.
