Proverbs 18

2010-08-18T08:24:00.003-04:00

"A person's words can be life-giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook." -Proverbs 18:4

"...for the tongue can kill or nourish life." - Proverbs 18:21

There certainly is power of life and death in the tongue. Through out this chapter, there are several references to the idea that your words can impact others. I think that it is common knowledge that we should watch what we say to each other. Sometimes we need reminding, but for the most part, I think that people understand the concept. It just seems that we ignore it a lot.

What I want to draw your attention to today is how that our words also effect us. How many times have you messed up and followed it with a statement like, "I'm so stupid!" or "How could I be such an idiot?". I propose to you today that not only should we speak positively into each other's lives, but also into our own. How often do we sabotage ourselves by saying that we will never lose weight? Or even how we resign ourselves to a life of sin when we speak out that we will never be able to defeat those things the enemy brings against us. Let us go boldly to the throne of God and speak LIFE into our own lives. Speak positively and without hesitation. You have the ability to speak life or destruction into your world. What will you speak?

-Talk to God at least once a day
-No rated 'R' movies this week
-Invite 1 person the OSM this next week
-No cussing
-MAKE YOUR BED EVERYDAY
-Check out www.therebelution.com

For some of you, this seems like a lot of things to do. It may even seem impossible, but we believe in you. We believe that you can accomplish these 7 things. We expect it and we are through with low expectations. So embrace this new way of thinking and begin to let it change your way of living. Be a rebel!
