Words ....
The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. — Proverbs 15:4
Words are powerful. Communicators know this. Negotiators know this. Deep down, you know this. Words have blessed you and words have devastated you. The healing that comes from a kind and tender word is precious. The destruction of a cruel taunt or a well-told deception is crushing. To have such power is amazing. To use this awesome power found in our speech is an awesome responsibility.
Words do have the power to give life, hope, and peace when offered in love to honor Jesus. Let's speak that word today!
A Prepared Heart
Proverbs 16:1-3
The preparations of the heart belong to man,
But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the spirits.
Commit your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world precisely those who thought most of the *next* .
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. .. C.S. Lewis
His Name
.. John 15:18-27
We enjoy the love of Christ and of the brethern, but we also must endure the hatred of the world of His name's sake. The more we are like Christ, the world system will oppose us.
Depend on the Spirit's power and you will be a fruitful Christian.
In our Life
Faith is the new order. Unbelief is the old order and dying order. Faith is the dividing line which runs right through mankind.
Having faith, or having no faith at all, are the alternatives for our approach to life.
