Psa 39:1 To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, "I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me."
I will take heed to my ways; as every good man should; that is, to all his actions, conduct, and conversation: it becomes him to take heed what ways he walks in; that they are the ways of God,
That I sin not with my tongue; which is a world of iniquity, and has a multitude of vices belonging to it; not only in profane men, but in professors of religion; whom it becomes to take heed that they sin not with it, by lying one to another, by angry and passionate expressions, by corrupt communication, filthiness, foolish talking, and jesting, which are not convenient; by whispering, talebearing, backbiting, and by evil speaking one of another.

Jas 1:26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.
26 - And bridleth not his tongue; but boasts of his works, and speaks ill of his brethren; backbites them, and hurts their names and characters, this man's religion is vain; useless, and unprofitable to himself and others; all his preaching, praying, hearing, and attendance on the ordinances will be of no avail to him.

Mat 15:17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
18- Come forth from the heart: are first conceived and formed there, and then come forth from thence, and are expressed by the mouth; as all idle words, foolish talking, filthy jesting, unsavoury communication, and every word that is rotten and corrupt, or which is done in the life and conversation;

Pro 12:17 He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.
Pro 12:18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
Pro 12:19 The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Mat 12:36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Mat 12:37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Bringeth forth good things; tells his experience, speaks of what God has done for his soul; says many things to the glory of the grace of God;
and an evil man, out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. The "evil man", is a man as he was born; who is wholly flesh, carnal, and in a state of nature; destitute of the Spirit, and having no principle of grace in him:

Psa 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. The tongue is an instrument of much evil, an unruly member, and needs restraint from all obscene and unchaste words, and from all lying ones; for where such evil speaking is indulged, the fear of God cannot be in that man.

Eph 6:2 "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER," which is the first commandment with promise: Today has been set aside by the world to be a day when we honor our earthly fathers. I am sure that if a father does the best he can much good will come out of it.The christian father has an advantage, because he has our Lord and his word. If you let God guide you, you will be able to bring a child up the way God would have them. I hope as a father that my christian ways will stay with my son and his family as he raises them. Let GOD's word dwell in you always. Seek to do God's will, not our will. Have a great Fathers Day
