The Wisdom of Words

Proverbs 10:11-14,19-21,31; 15:1-4; 16:23-24; 18:20-21

The most powerful muscle in the body is the tongue. Not because it of its physical strength or endurance, but because of the incredible impact it can have for good or evil, to cultivate life or death. Every day from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep, we wield a powerful instrument that can either tear down or build up, inflict hurt or promote healing, bring curses or blessings. What comes out of our mouths reveals a great deal about what is going on in our heart which is why Proverbs, like the rest of Scripture, has a great deal to say about the wise use of words, and helps us see our need for the living Word that is the only hope for our words. Join us this Sunday as we continue our summer in the school of wisdom and see what God has to say to us about what we say to others.
