THE POWER OF THE MOUTH


Proverbs 10:32 (10:31)

The mouth of a righteous man distills wisdom,
But the tongue of an unrighteous man utterly destroys.

Personal Challenge

There used to be a day that we had to communicate with each other face to face or by a letter carried by hand that could take weeks, months, or even years to reach the intended recipient. Now it can be done instantly. Sometimes a video feed is included so that we can see each other, but more often it is something written on a keyboard and posted so that everyone can see it and even add their own comments to it. As Christians, are we only writing things that edify and build up the other person, or have we embraced the ways of the world and chosen to write nasty, hurting, demeaning things? Do we distill wisdom or utterly destroy? Have we become part of the world or have we overcome it? Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
