Proverbs - Lesson 4

The Power of the Tongue

Ken JonesProverbs2020Audio · 43 min

This lesson focuses on self-control of the tongue, building on earlier discussions of self-destruction and laziness. Proverbs 18:20–21 is used to show how words can impact livelihood, relationships, and even life itself. The tongue has power to destroy or preserve, and controlling it is essential for wisdom. Proverbs teaches there’s a time to be silent, to avoid flattery, hurtful words, gossip, and quarrels. Uncontrolled speech leads to ruin, while guarded speech protects life. Practical examples show how reckless or excessive words can damage family, work, friendships, and personal well-being.

Guarding the Heart

Ken JonesProverbs2020Audio · 43 min

The teacher stresses that temptations today are heightened through media and culture, making vigilance essential. Practical counsel is given to avoid compromising situations. Ultimately, thoughts shape actions; therefore, believers must guard their hearts above all else, for it is the wellspring of life. Self-control in desires and thoughts protects from destruction and keeps one walking in God’s wisdom.

Guarding Against Self-Destruction

Ken JonesProverbs2020Audio · 42 min

In this lesson on Proverbs, the focus shifts to self-control as essential to avoiding self-destruction. Using Dexter Manley’s story of wasted talent through addiction, the teacher shows how lack of restraint destroys lives. Proverbs 25:28 compares a man without self-control to a city with broken walls—vulnerable to attack, especially by Satan. Laziness is highlighted as a major self-destructive habit. Proverbs 6:6–8 urges us to learn from the ant’s diligence, teaching that God designed us with strength and energy to work, not waste time. Self-control protects our lives, opportunities, and service to God.
