Soothing Oil


Have you ever been told that you are a smooth talker? Or that you have a silver tongue? Not sure what to do or say? Good because the Bible has some advice for you.

Those with the most convincing way could also be the person that is hiding a heart of strife or violence. The book of Psalms chapter 55:20-21 describes such a person. Here is the description.
  • They attack their friends
  • They don't keep their word
  • Their speech is as smooth as butter, yet war is in their heart
  • Their words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.
Our greatest desire should be people who season our words with grace, not people with persuasive words
