Over the last year or so my wife (Kate) and I have had a real sense of how important are words are.
No matter where we are or what we are doing - do our words build up or knock down?
As someone who leads worship I feel I have a big responsibility when it comes to what I say.
If that is when I’m leading worship or chatting with friends.
We have noticed how easy it is to get caught up in conversations and how easy it is speak negatively
This quote from Mother Teresa has really spoke to me:
“Words which do not give the light of Christ
increase the darkness”.
wow.................
Also “James 3” talks about the tongue:
9With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God's likeness!
10Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so.
Challenging eh?
My desire is that I would speak well wherever I am
For us worship leaders may our words encourage, build up, be positive and give light to Christ
