The Power of Your Words
Proverbs 18:21
The tongue has the power of life and death.. (Proverbs 18:21)
For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. (Matthew 12:34)
Our words show Who we are, Whose we are, and What’s in our heart. We are responsible for them, and one day will be judged over how we have used the Power of our words.
At this point in history, everything from social media and politics to cultural conflict has brought us to a time when we as Christians need to step back and consider our words, their power, how we have been using them and how we should be using them.
Think about it. Everything you have said this week has either been life-giving or death-dealing, and there is nothing in between. The tongue has the power to kill, to destroy, to hurt, to maim and to assassinate, or to heal, help, inspire, encourage, influence, save and bring peace.
