Scripture Reference:

Key Points
– Words Have Consequences: The words we speak have consequences that can impact ourselves and others. It’s essential to consider the potential effects of our words.
– Focus on Consequences, Not Just Words: Rather than just arguing about words, let’s examine the consequences of those words to understand their true meaning and impact.
– Clarify by Their Fruits: We can judge the authenticity and value of words by their consequences, as Jesus taught in ‘Matt. 7:20’.
Reflection area:
– How can we use our words to build up and encourage others, rather than causing harm?
– What are the consequences of our words, and how can we take responsibility for them?
– How can we discern the true meaning and value of words by examining their consequences?
Application areas:
– Let’s choose our words carefully, considering their potential impact on others.
– When disagreements arise, let’s focus on understanding the consequences of words rather than just debating the words themselves.
– May we strive to use our words to bring life, encouragement, and blessing to those around us.
Benediction:
May our words be guided by wisdom, love, and a deep understanding of their consequences. May we speak life, encouragement and truth, and may our words bring blessing to those around us.
