Sticks & Stones…

Do you remember the old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? I remember trying to convince myself that this was true as a boy who was often on the receiving end of the jeers and laughs of my peers. I still try to convince myself of this sometimes. But the truth is: words hurt. To be honest, there are times that I would rather be beaten with sticks and stones.
Tonight we are going to be taking a look at the power of words in both TM 412 and Escape. The Bible is really clear in teaching that our words are to be life giving. Sometimes life giving means encouraging, sometimes it means a loving rebuke, sometimes it means to simply bite your tongue and say nothing.
Our scripture focus for tonight: Proverbs 18:21 and Ephesians 4:29
How about you…What are the most life-giving words you’ve spoken lately?
