What is the Impact of our Words?

Drawing from the wisdom of Proverbs, particularly chapters 10, 11, and 18, we're reminded that 'death and life are in the power of the tongue.' This isn't just about avoiding gossip; it's about understanding how our speech can either wound deeply or bring profound healing. Are we using our words as 'sword thrusts,' or are we offering 'gracious words' that are 'like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body'? This teaching invites us to be intentional with our speech, to guard our mouths, and to use our words to build others up and share the love of Christ. It's a call to be distinct as followers of Jesus by offering hope and grace through our words.
