John, with dutiful respect towards your person, sometimes around here the old folk state that one 'needs his head examined' when going about in rabbit trails as the list posted here seems to go!! Just a good old laugh ... Please, do not take offence to this.
The texts you anchor your post from (Mt 12:36-37) were forwarded to Mike to underline the responsibility attached to our Christian behaviour in the use of the tongue, say our speech or words.
It was rather alarming to read in Mike's post his attitude of making light of any being offended because of words spoken. So, the point of the verses proposed was to bring to light how seriously our speech is taken by God.
Forgive is something is missed out, failing to see your point.

Your late post seems to indicate you can take the role of a perfect diplomat

Perhaps the Lord used the painting to draw, however, faith does not come thru viewing paintings. Brokenness over sin doesn't come by viewing an image either- the word and the Spirit are what brings brokenness and salvation.
As for teaching, the word of God is sufficient for teaching. Too many today want to tell stories and tend to stray from the word. Personal experiences are not a bad thing but should never be the sole means of teaching.

Paintings may be "inspiring" but they still are not an adequate means when it comes to the Gospel especially if they use false images.
God's Word says that it is by His Word and by his Spirit that brings saving faith. His Word alone is sufficient.
People who rely on their feelings are unstable and,more than likely,will opt for the warm fuzzies in lieu of truth when given the choice.

I know this is completely off subject, but I want to rejoice in our God and Savior Jesus Christ! He has saved a young couple in our church who our congregation has been praying for and ministering to for some time now. The young lady was saved about a month ago and it has been obvious that God was dealing with his heart as well. Today, during the preaching of the word, He came to full assurance of his salvation. Hallelujah! Our God is so good! Praise His holy name forever!

it's so frustrating, i dream of being taken care of, someone smarter and stronger then me making decisions, and not having to make them and be told that i'm not only bossy, but that it's all my fault when things go wrong ...
not having to protect everyone, but being protected ...
yet now i have come to learn it's really God doing the protecting, and His grace which sustains me ...
it's wearing me out physically and emotionally because we live in dangerous neighborhoods and in dangerous times .. i'm positive that i will die before my husband and after 35 years of it, i'm fine with that
