242. Death and Life in the Power of the Tongue (Proverbs)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Moments of Worship, Pastor Keith McMinn reflects on Proverbs 18:21 — “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” He begins by sharing how the tongue, with its thousands of taste buds, helps us enjoy food and form words—but also carries far greater power. Pastor Keith explains how our speech can bring encouragement, blessing, and praise, or it can spread gossip, criticism, and strife. He reminds listeners that words are never neutral; they bear fruit that returns to us. Drawing from both Proverbs and the New Testament, Pastor Keith points to the hope we have in Christ, who redeems our speech so that we may build others up with words of grace and truth.Proverbs 18:21
