“Whoever restrains his lips is prudent.” (Prov. 10:19). Thus, here is a reminder list of things we seal our lips to:

Lying: not being truthful

Rudeness: unkind communication

Gossip: sharing information needlessly and hurtfully

Slander: untrue accusations

Quarreling: looking for and creating arguments

Divisiveness: create unnecessary division

Disrespect: talking in a way that diminishes others

Clamor: verbal combat

Boasting: celebrating yourself
