The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. – Proverbs 18:21



Words – Heartfelt or Sharp Tongue

Have you ever heard the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?” Well, this statement couldn’t be any further from the truth. Our words can bring hurt, or they can bring comfort. We are reminded of this through today’s passage. When we speak, our words can impact the person we are speaking to more than we think. What we say is a reflection of who we are and how we view others. The hurtful things we say can be poisonous to another, in an emotional sense. If we speak kindly, we uplift another. Today think about what you say when you’re with others. What impact will your words have: good or bad?  – Commentary by Matthew Elliott

Acts 2:42-47
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47 Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
