(Ephesians 4:31 NKJV) 1. RELEASE AND RELOAD BEFORE YOU SPEAK. “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45 NKJV) 2. SLOW YOUR ROLL AND LISTEN.
“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”
(1 James 1:19 NKJV) 3. COMMUNICATE BY CONNECTING HEART-TO-HEART. “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” (Colossians 4:6 NKJV) COMMUNICATE WITH:
