The Bible warns us that when words flow too freely from our mouths we are going to sin.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.
Proverbs 10:19
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.
Proverbs 17:27-28
Seest thou a man [that is] hasty in his words? [there is] more hope of a fool than of him.
Proverbs 29:20
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities
Ecclesiastes 5:3, 7
The problem here, is not that words in and of themselves are bad, but that the fountain from which they gush forth is contaminated, and not a pure source. We are born in sin and our minds and hearts have been corrupted and tainted by sin. If we let our words flow freely, they will therefore be contaminated because their source is contaminated, and that source is us! We must therefore seek to purify our hearts (James 4:8), and renew of our minds (Romans 12:2) through the Word of God.
Now ye are clean through the word which I [Christ] have spoken unto you.
John 15:3
That he [Christ] might sanctify and cleanse it [His church] with the washing of water by the word,
Ephesians 5:26
We need to put our words through a filter and through the refining fire to remove the impurities, BEFORE we speak them!
The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psalm 12:6
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Psalm 141:3
May my conversation bless the Lord at all times, may His praise be continually in my mouth.
May my words be purifed before they are spoken,
May they bring You glory and not shame, Lord,
May they bring healing to Your people, and not hurt,
