Your words are powerful. The Bible tells us that our mouth can either be a flamethrower for the fires of hell, setting everything around us ablaze (Jas. 3:5-6). Or it can be like construction equipment erecting a glorious skyscraper (1 Thes. 5:11 & Eph. 4:29). You are Christians, and as such must learn to think God’s thoughts after Him, and speak His word after Him.
So ask yourself before you speak, “Are my words going to be a flamethrower or a crane? Am I going to bring ruin, or am I going to build a monument?†In all this, God is our example, and what did He speak? He spake the Word and through that Word made flesh gave us life and forgiveness. So speak like God, and always let your words be about Jesus.
