“Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls…” (Acts 15:24)
Words can be unsettling. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can touch your soul. It was *just* words that the devil used to unsettle souls in the early church. It is *just* words that can destroy the church now.
The words we say to each other – do they build up, or do they tear down?
The words we listen to – do they cause us to dwell on good and pure things, or do they stir our hearts up to anger, dismay, or deception?
The words we use and the words we hear have a profound impact upon us. Choose them carefully.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
