Life and Death Are in the Power of the Tongue
Manage episode 490892972 series 3670687
“Just words”? Not according to Scripture. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, we explore Proverbs 18:21 and the truth that your tongue carries eternal weight. Every word has a direction—toward life or toward death. Whether you’re speaking into a meeting, a marriage, or your own mind, your words leave a mark. Choose wisely.
In This Episode:
- Why Scripture takes your speech seriously
- How to use your words to heal instead of harm
- What Proverbs teaches about the spiritual weight of everyday conversations
Takeaway:
Your mouth is either planting life or poisoning the ground. Speak with purpose.
