How to use words
Proverbs 10:16-21 The activity of the righteous is for life;
the income of the wicked is for sin. 17 He who observes discipline is on the way to life;
but he who ignores correction is making a mistake. 18 He who covers up hate has lips that lie,
and anyone who slanders is a fool.
19 When words are many, sin is not lacking;
so he who controls his speech is wise.
20 The tongue of the righteous is like pure silver,
but the mind of the wicked is worth little.

Understanding...
Proverbs 8:1-5 Wisdom is calling!
Understanding is raising her voice!
2 On the heights along the road,
where the paths meet, she is standing;
3 by the gates leading into the city,
at the entrances, she cries aloud: 4 “People, I am calling you,
raising my voice to all mankind.
5 You who don’t direct your lives,
understand caution;
as for you, you fools,
get some common sense! Understanding and wisdom... As much as I would love wisdom, right now I would love understanding more!

The end of the book of Matthew
Matthew 28:16-20 16 So the eleven talmidim (disciples/students) went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him; but some hesitated. 18 Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), 20 and

Let the Words GO
Matthew 27:38-44 38 Then two robbers were placed on execution-stakes with him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 People passing by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, “So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the stake!” 41 Likewise, the head cohanim (priests) jeered at him, along with the Torah-teachers and elders, 42 “He saved others, but he can’t save hims

Words and Actions...
Matthew 23:13-22 13 “But woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P’rushim (Pharisees)! For you are shutting the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces, neither entering yourselves nor allowing those who wish to enter to do so. 14 15 “Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P’rushim! You go about over land and sea to make one proselyte; and when you succeed, you make him twice as fit for Gei-Hinnom (hell) as you are! 16 “Woe to you, you blind guides! You say, ‘If someone sw

Go Untie a Donkey
Matthew 21:1-5 As they were approaching Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), they came to Beit-Pagei (Bethphage) on the Mount of Olives. Yeshua sent two talmidim (disciples/students) 2 with these instructions: “Go into the village ahead of you, and you will immediately find a donkey tethered there with its colt. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, tell him, ‘The Lord needs them’; and he will let them go at once.” 4 This happened in order to fulfill what ha

Old and New
Matthew 13:51-58 51 “Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered. 52 He said to them, “So then, every Torah-teacher who has been made into a talmid (disciple/student) for the Kingdom of Heaven is like the owner of a home who brings out of his storage room both new things and old.” 53 When Yeshua had finished these parables, he left 54 and went to his home town. There he taught them in their synagogue in a way that astounded them, so that they asked, “Where do

Speak GOOD fruit...
Matthew 12:33-37 33 “If you make a tree good, its fruit will be good; and if you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 You snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what overflows from the heart. 35 The good person brings forth good things from his store of good, and the evil person brings forth evil things from his store of evil. 36 Moreover, I tell you this: on the Day of Judgment people will have to give

Choose your words wisely...
30 “Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather with me are scattering. 31 Because of this, I tell you that people will be forgiven any sin and blasphemy, but blaspheming the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) will not be forgiven. 32 One can say something against the Son of Man and be forgiven; but whoever keeps on speaking against the Ruach HaKodesh will never be forgiven, neither in the ‘olam hazeh (these days) nor in the ‘olam haba (days to come). Jesu

Harmless as a dove...
Matthew 10:16-20 16 “Pay attention! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves, so be as prudent as snakes and as harmless as doves.17 Be on guard, for there will be people who will hand you over to the local Sanhedrins and flog you in their synagogues.18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as a testimony to them and to the Goyim (Gentiles/nations).19 But when they bring you to trial, do not worry about what to say or how to say it; when the time co
