  3. 1 Corinthians 14:7-9, 7If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played?8And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?9So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air.

  4. Communication: • James 3:1-2, 1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.2For we all stumble in many ways, and if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.

  5. Communication: • Romans 1:16, For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

  6. Communication: • Luke 4:32, and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority.

  7. Communication: • Luke 4:36, And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

  8. Communication: • John 12:47-50, 47If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment--what to say and what to speak. 50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.

  9. Communication: • John 14:24, Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

  10. Errors In Communication: • Matthew 12:34, You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

  11. Errors In Communication: • James 3:9-12, 9With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 11Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.

  12. Proper CommunicationCan/Does Make One Wise: • James 3:13-17, 13Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

  13. Proper CommunicationCan/Does Make One Wise: • Proverbs 3:13, Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,

  14. Proper CommunicationCan/Does Make One Wise: • Matthew 12:42, The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

  15. Proper CommunicationCan/Does Make One Wise: • John 6:60, 66, 60When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” … 66After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

  16. Conclusion: • 2 Timothy 3:12-17, 12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
