Everything we are as Christians comes from God. He is our source, but sometimes we are distracted from him by our circumstances. The economy, the election, the changing of seasons and preparing for winter all these things compete for time and attention but where is God left in the mix? It is so easy in conversation with the people around us to be overcome with all the GLOOM and DOOM that they are dumping out. At our church we call it "spiritual vomit" because it needs cleaned off just like when someone really vomits on you. If you don't clean it off you start thinking like that other person. This is our chance as Christ-like people to encourage those around us with hope that the creator of this world still holds it in his hands and nothing knocks him off of HIS throne or takes HIM by surprise.
Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)
Those who love to talk will experience the consequences, for the tongue can kill or nourish life.
