Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And he that wins souls is wise.*
With all of the unrest in our world today it is a knee jerk reaction to strike back when our ideals are challenged. But harsh words only stir up anger. Conversely kind words promote peace.
Jesus said that we would be known as His followers by the love we share. It is only by our loving behavior that we can represent Jesus effectively.
Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.
John 13:35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
*Proverbs 18:21 The tongue can bring death or life;those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
*Proverbs 11:30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
