Warning of Words
from Lesson of the Hour Hosted by Dean Road
Words are powerful. James described the tongue as a deadly poison. When the Holy Spirit fills hearts, there is no room for insults and profanity. This message presents the faults of the tongue. Christians can change their words to build up and give grace. Jesus revealed, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matt 12:35). On the other hand, how should Christians respond to those who insult, abuse, and persecute them with words? Christ taught, “Love your enemies.” Listen and consider how the Scriptures guide believers in the use of their words. Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:29-32 (read by Christopher Howell) Lesson by Scott Shifferd Recorded February 4, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
