The ability to speak is given to us by God.  Humans are created in the image of God; God is a communicating Being [Gen. 1:26].  Understanding the significance of speech is important for a number of reasons:

1) the ability to speak differentiates humans from animals [Gen. 2:18-20],

2) speech has great potential for good or evil [Prov. 18:21],

3) our speech is an index of our inner attitudes and our spiritual maturity [Ecc. 10:12-13],

4) sins of speech are considered by God to be very serious [Matthew 12:36-37].

Students should not only be taught that they must be careful of the words they choose but also that they must give careful attention to how those words are expressed. ACSI 2007 HANDBOOK
