Power Of Words

THE DECISIONS WE MAKE TODAY WILL AFFECT THE LIVES OF OTHERS TOMORROW.

Romans 14:13 (NKJV)

“Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.”

Every decision we make affects others. What we do truly affects the lives of other people. Before we speak, we must ask ourselves, “What will my words mean to this person? How will they affect him?”

Discretion puts me in the position of that other person. If we realize that what we are about to say will bring unnecessary pain to him, we should simply choose to keep quiet. The above passage tells us that if we ever do anything that hurts another person or causes them to sin we must determine never to do it again. Although all things may be lawful for us to do, not all things are profitable. We cannot allow ourselves to be brought under the power of anything that will adversely affect another person’s life.

May what we say always build up and edify another; always pointing them in the direction of God. As we consider the affect we will have on another individual our actions will line up with that which is written, bringing glory to our Heavenly Father.

CONFESSION

Romans 14:13

“I do not judge others. I will not put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in my brother’s way. The words I speak build up and edify, pointing others toward my Heavenly Father.”

this is really good!!! a daily success key from Dr. Robb Thompson... just wanna emphasise on the part about... "If we realize that what we are about to say will bring unnecessary pain to him, we should simply choose to keep quiet."
