Description

From building up and doing good to tearing down and mocking evil, words have incredible power! In Proverbs, the tongue is said to give life and to take it away (Prov. 18:21); James says the tongue is a spark of a fire and a rudder—so small and yet so consequential (Jas. 3:4–6)! Likewise, creation itself comes from the Word of God (John 1:1–5), Jesus is the Word of God incarnate (John 1:14), and our Lord says that every word we utter will be measured against us (Matt. 12:36). With so much at stake, speaking like Christ and patterning our words after the whole counsel of God is one of the most important disciplines we can learn. For that reason, we are taking this month to see how God’s Word teaches us how to use our words. Join us as we seek to be sanctified in our speech.
