Scripture Reading: Proverbs 18: 8; 20-21 MSG
"Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy; do you really want junk like that in your belly?"
"Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach; good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest. Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit - you choose.
One of the codes we have here at BC is "No Trash Talk". I would have to say this is one of my favorite codes. I have seen what strife does to relationships and churches. I believe it is one of the main ways he destroys relationships and ministries. On the flip side, I've seen what God can do in a body of believers who are unified under one vision, uplifting each other with their words and speaking life over each other, the church, and their lives. The enemy cannot stop a unified church! Pastor Nate and I continually thank the Lord for the unity that our body has and value and treasure it!
These three verses show what words do. They produce life or death in our lives. Today, value and treasure unity. Guard it. Choose to listen to life words. Choose to speak life words. Words that edify and build up your family, friends, co-workers, etc. Speak and create LIFE!
