Sunday's Scripture:


Proverbs 18: 21 (New King James Version)

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Another translation says "those who love to talk, will eat their own words". Which is basically saying you shall reap the actions in which you sew towards other people. I love this scripture because it personifies the power & strength that words have. The Bible uses the tongue to symbolize words, and in doing so, says that life and death are at your own discretion. If you curse and slander the names of people; expect to reap the same actions done to yourself. If you bless and commend other people; you shall reap that nature as well.

    one word:
    EFFICACY

    we obviously know about the power of words especially with the assistance of Turnbaugh but that is precisely why we need to speak life and not death.

    not to sound cliche
    [Turnbaugh hates them lol]
    but its sad how its much easier for ppl to
    hate than congradulate
    degrage rather than uplife
    talk shit rather than encourage
    ...and the list goes on and one.

    Elementary but "if you aint got nothing good to say, say anything at all"
