The Narrow Path (Week 6): Our Words

Our words matter.  What we say we are going to do and what we commit to staying away from should carry with them real and meaningful weight in the world. The challenge we often face when it comes to being clear and having integrity with our words often stems from the pace of life we live. Because of the fast-paced world we live in, we don’t make the space to ponder the words and commitments we make. Another challenge is our fear of disappointing people. ·Jesus mentions that our lack of integrity with our words leads to us being influenced by the evil one. This might be because if we can’t speak truthfully, we are playing into the hands of the evil one’s character of lies and deception.
