It's a simple fact of life: our words can be used to build others up, tear others down, stir up trouble, or calm down a situation. Believe it or not, the Bible spends a lot of time focusing on the power of speech and how we should carefully watch the words that come out of our mouths. The ability to control one's speech is often equated with wisdom in Scripture, so it's no mistake that some of the wisest and sharpest minds in the Bible take time to write about this important topic. Come along as we discuss the power of speech by looking primarily in the books of James and Ephesians (with some Proverbs thrown in there, too, among other books). Enjoy!
