In the beginning God said, “Let there be light" and there was light. The spoken word has creative power. That's why the words we speak are so important. Some of us are bold in our speech yet we give little though to what we say and the effect of our words. Some of us think a lot of what to say but then for numerous reasons we fail to speak up on the matter.
As we continue our BOLD series we will be looking at how boldly speaking the truth is what gave birth and life to the first century church. Each Sunday I give thanks for all the gifts given by the congregation that week. I refer to time, talent, treasure and truth. We are called to boldly speak the truth, and we are to do so in love.
Our words have power. What we say and how we say it matters. Pay attention to the words you speak throughout the rest of this week. And pay special attention to the words you do not speak and why. Let us be bold in speaking words of hope and healing, and silent in speaking words that hurt and damage others. And remember, Proverbs 21:23 says that the one who keeps their mouth and tongue keeps their soul from troubles!
Let's boldly celebrate God's love in Christ for all as we worship together Sunday at 10:45am. Do someone a favor, let them know they belong at Cornerstone and invite them to join us.
Rev Sandy, Pastor
