    James helps us humble ourselves before God and walk in the faith we hold. This is nowhere truer than in our words.

    Words matter. Proverbs gives us some advice on how to speak well.

    One of the most difficult things to do in life is to control what you say. We do a good job for a while but then in one weak moment and we can do irreparable damage. Words hurt and heal, they go deep into our hearts and minds. The old saying is not true that “sticks and stones can break our ...read more
