Words Matter

    God puts much value on the spoken word.  And we are to trust God at His word. Sometimes His word is all we have. Not a hint of what God speaks is untrue or unworthy. Through His word the earth was created and established. The integrity of His word is so valued that Jesus is said to be the Word of God made manifest in flesh.

    As Christians we should emulate God’s character not just by our actions, but in our speech as well. We should be men and women who the very integrity of our speech can be counted on and trusted. Our words should not be a mere vapor, but words with substance and truth. Our words should be pure and holy and good. And just as we trust God at His word, others should be able to trust us at our word.
