One of the biggest lies we hear in life is that words can never harm us. Truth is, words can wound us deeply. Even worse, our words can do infinitely more damage to our family and friends than sticks or stones ever could. While men do so many things well, speaking life into those we love can be a particular challenge; yet our influence as husbands, fathers, and friends depends on keeping a leash on our lips. As we continue our study of Proverbs 16, we'll learn some important lessons about making sure our words don't get in the way of what God wants us to be and do for His glory.
