Good morning all,
The word of the day is “logorrhea.” You don't even really
have to be Christian to understand that words matter; but the fact that you
call Jesus Lord means that you have a pretty good sense that they do. In fact,
by the time someone is done conversing with you, they either have one of two
thoughts. They either feel better or worse for the experience. For this reason,
we as Christians need to make sure that we are always helping others to feel
better about themselves and the gospel.
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the
perverse tongue will be cut off. The lips of the righteous know what is
acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.
~Pr. 10:31-32
My question is: are you working towards a life of
righteousness? One of my spiritual mentors told me early on in my time as a
Christian that I needed to pray each day for both wisdom and discernment. I
think this is an incredible counsel. If each of us take the time to remember
that our words matter, we will not have to worry about whether or not what we
say is or is not acceptable. My prayer is that you stay away from logorrhea, or incoherent and talkative nonsense... and instead are an example for others in
your speech, works, and love. Go out and encourage someone in the name of Jesus
today.
Praying for you,
Mo
