Building Up and Blessing | Series: Speak Life | Taylor Walling
The words we use are more than tools to communicate - they have creative power. After all, creation was literally spoken into existence by God. And the God who spoke life gave us the ability to speak. Proverbs 18:21 says, "The tongue has the power of life and death." Each of us carries this power every day. Our words can fuel hope or snuff it out, build others up or tear them down, bring truth or lies, blessings or curses. It's time to discover the immense power of our words and live each day as those who speak life.
