Words matter. In a world where we can say or type whatever we want, we often forget or do not even know that our words have the power of life and death. (Prov. 18:21) The average man uses about 7,000 words every day. The average woman about 20,000 words a day. Regardless if you are higher or lower than the average, the truth is that we use a lot of words in the day—a great amount of opportunities to speak life or death.
