Verses that inspire

Our ongoing study has prompted my searching for familiar and not so familiar verses to help us along.....

Here are some for us to think about today:

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (Colossians 4:6, NIV)

A gentle answer turns away wrath,    but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,    but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. (Proverbs 15:1-2, NIV)

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”  (Acts 18:9-10)

Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, and to be ready to do good in every way. 2 Tell them not to speak evil of anyone, but to be peaceful and friendly, and always to show a gentle attitude toward everyone. (Titus 3:1-2, GNT)

There's that "gold standard" we mentioned! Let's determine that we will follow the guidelines the Bible gives to us!
