Verbal Violence
from PastorG Podcast Hosted by John E. Girton, Jr.
We often hear the old phrase, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It is a good comeback on the playground, but the truth is in life negative talk can pierce the thickest of skin. (Proverb 17:20….”he who has a perverse (or negative) tongue falls into evil.” The bible is full of warnings against using words as a weapon. So, if you know someone who’s guilty of verbal violence and is struggling to overcome it, I encourage you to pray for him or her “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, o Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” (Psalms 19:14)
