Bible Verse of The Day – 5-23-12

(Philemon 1:4 NKJV)  I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers…

We want to take a few minutes to encourage everyone who might read this.

We get a lot of emails, and even letters by regular mail, thanking us for what we do. So many of you have written to tell us how God’s word has encouraged you just when you needed it most.

Well, let us tell each and every one of you that there have been just as many times when you have encouraged us. We can’t even count the times that we have been going through a tough time or we were waiting to hear from God and then one of you would send us an email or a letter, encouraging us or sharing a testimony with us.

Your words of encouragement, emails, letters and words of love have lifted us up, put smiles on our faces and tears of joy in our eyes. We are truly blessed to have a group of people like yourselves and we thank God for all of you.

As we have told many of you in personal emails, we take what we do very seriously and we thank God for the opportunity to serve each and every one of you.

Keep your faith strong and be sure to kick the devil at least once each day. He deserves it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-8-12

(Prov 18:21 NKJV)  Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

We have power in our words. We can build up. We can tear down.

Have you ever said something and then immediately wished you could take it back? I know I have. This is something we all stumble on sometimes.

Our words may not literally kill someone, but they can rob people of their joy, take away their encouragement and kill their hope. I can bet that every single one of us has had this happen to us at one time or another. It never feels very good, does it?

But guess what. We can also use our words to lift someone up, bring them joy and speak life into their situation.

God has given us the ability to use words to pick people up when they’re down. We can encourage them when they’re disappointed and we can give them hope when they’re depressed.

This might seem like something very small at first, but if we look at the impact we can have on those around us, day after day, it’s a pretty major thing!

Let’s choose our words wisely, bring life to people and bring glory to God!
