Hey, friends. We’ll share a new song together this Sunday, and I wanted to give you an opportunity to hear it! Start a Fire is just a great song of conviction, and a direct request to God — it will move you, and stir you. This is the version recorded by The Zoe Group. You […]

Word: Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of […]

Word: But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. (Matthew 12:36, 37) Meditation Thought: One day we will stand before God and our words will […]

Word: Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man […]

Word: The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

We have seen it, and […]

Word: A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. (Proverbs 15:30) Meditation Thought: So often we turn to doctors for healing and health, but positive words can be a powerful force for preventing many of the ailments that drag us down. Many of our doctor visits and […]

Word: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29) Meditation Thought: We hear much about being good stewards of the possessions God gives us, but we must also be good […]

Part Five: Speak Positively The letter of James contains some very amazing statements about the power of that little part of our body we call our tongue. James compares it to the rudder of a great ship that controls where the ship goes. He compares it to the small spark that can start a huge […]

Word: Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? (Luke 16:10, 11) Meditation Thought: My worldly wealth is a […]
