    The tongue has the power of life and death. We can either crush people's hearts or bring confidence to them. Our words must be put under the subjection of the Holy Spirit.

    If I recognize that my ability to think, to speak, and to share those thoughts comes from God, then I should be very careful of how I use it, don’t you think? How many of you use the gift that God gave you to think about the gift that God gave you … the gift of thought.

    “In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep. While a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
