Evaluating Our Words

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: How are you using your words today? Did you know that the Bible has a lot to say about how we use our words? Here are some examples.

“If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go.” (Matt. 5:23-24)

Nancy: Are you quick to humble yourself and ask forgiveness when you’ve done something wrong?

“First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Matt. 5:24)

Nancy: Do you build other people up through words of praise, appreciation, and admiration?

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion.” (Eph. 4:29)

Nancy: Are you quick to say “thank you” for everything God’s given you?

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts . . . and be thankful.” (Col. 3:15)

Nancy: Humble, encouraging, and thankful—those are the kinds of words I want to speak today. I hope that describes your words as well.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
