Your greatest weapon—for good or evil—is in your mouth.
From bestselling author Dr. Tony Evans comes a compelling resource

shared through engaging lessons and anecdotes, you'll learn what
the Bible teaches about talking:
- Discover the power of the spoken word to bolster your faith when you're doubting.
- Discern what should or shouldn't be said so that you honor God with your speech.
- Develop the ability to praise God and voice wisdom even in tough circumstances.
Get inspired by Tony's teaching on the tongue and model with your mouth the character of God. Don't let your words bring cursing or destruction to yourself and those you love. Instead, let your words minister to and speak life into the world around you.
Top Highlights
“We have the power to act in a way that is outside the natural order of things” (source)
“bridle your mouth, and the rest of you will follow” (source)
“You don’t have to kill a person physically in order to ruin their life forever. Myriads of people have been wiped out by words. Proverbs 6:2 says, ‘You have been trapped by the words of your lips—ensnared by the words of your mouth.’ Our words can trap us. They can get us into situations we never should have gotten into. They can bind us in commitments we never should have made. The tongue can heal, or it can harm: ‘The tongue that heals is a tree of life, but a devious tongue breaks the spirit’ (Proverbs 15:4).” (source)
“Life is the enjoyment of the favor of God. Death is the removal of divine favor, leading to the death of a dream, the death of a relationship, or whatever. The same tool in your mouth can bring both. In a surgeon’s skilled hand, a scalpel can help preserve life, but a criminal can use the same sharpened blade to bring death. A wise doctor can use a syringe to promote healing in a sick patient, but a drug pusher can use the same syringe to cause death.” (source)
“Your words will provide a helping of life or a helping of death because life and death are in the power of the tongue.” (source)
