Communicating with Chainsaw or Scalpel?

Text: "The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil," (Proverbs 15:28).

Principle: Let your words be skillfully deliberate.

Object: A chainsaw and a scalpel.

Action: Start the chain saw (gas-powered is most effective, but electric is more prudent). Holding the chainsaw and scalpel, ask which would be the preferred instrument for removing a mole.

Describe how wisdom is precise and accurate, while foolish words are careless and equivocating. Wisdom is dispensed drop by drop, while ignorance is a geyser and silliness a flood.

Purpose: To compare and contrast wise speech and foolish words.
