The Power of the Spoken Word

God has granted us the marvelous privildge of communicating through words. Proverbs 10:11 says, "The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life." Words are powerful. Properly used they can edify, encourage and instruct; wrongly used they can cut, criticize, and crush. Words are powerful. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Did I mention, words are powerful! God has given us the grace gift of using words to minister life to those outside a personal relationship with Christ through sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, encouraging those within the body of Christ or speaking a word in due season. Words are powerful. Use yours to minister life to those who hear.
