How’s Your Communication Lately?
By Paul | May 31, 2007
Last year the Bethel staff culminated a handful of Biblical communication principles, in order to keep them in the forefront of our minds on the staff team and how we deal with one another. Thought we’d pass them on to you, too, for your meditation in your quiet time.
Proverbs 12:18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
Proverbs 18:13 He who answers before listening-that is his folly and his shame.

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 Our words should be Spirit-led and not simply from the flesh.
Ephesians 5:11-13 And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them, for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed to light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

II Timothy 4:2 Preach the word in and out of season, reprove, rebuke and exhort.
I John 3:18 Let us not love in word or in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
