Words may seem insignificant, but their consequences can be far-reaching. Jesus emphasized that our words have the power to justify or condemn us. Ananias and Sapphira, and Jephthah demonstrate the deadly consequences of reckless words. Similarly, the entire nation of Israel was delayed from entering the Promised Land for 40 years due to the negative report of 10 spies. The tongue, a little member of the body, has the power of life and death.
