Small Group Questions (Whole Group):
Read 1 Timothy 3:11 and Titus 3:2

1. What does it mean to malign someone? Gossip and slander is vicious and damaging. How do you prevent this kind of evil communication from damaging your life and the lives of others?
    
2. What is profanity? Does the culture dictate what words we consider profane? What words or phrases should we stop using, and why?
    
3. If there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1), will Christians really be held accountable for every careless or idle word (Matthew 12:36). How do you reconcile these two passages?
    
4. Reviewing 2 Peter 1:3-11, discuss "God's part" and "our part" in controlling the tongue.
