By now, I hope and pray you have gotten into the Lenten Spirit. Through prayer, fasting, and self-examination, this is truly a season to allow God to work deeper within us, showing us how much more the Divine glory can shine through us.
This morning, our youth had a great breakfast highlighted by a lesson on the power of the tongue. As we studied this morning, scripture is quite clear about how the actions of our tongue control us far more than we realize.
I encourage you to use this holy season of Lent as an opportunity to examine the state of your tongue. What is it that you are doing through the words that you say and how you say them? Are you using them to uplift one another, encouraging one another to good deeds, and strengthening one another's faith? Are you using your words to be God's light and love in the world? Can someone, by hearing you speak to them, hear the Good News of Christ?
When you speak, do you speak on your own, or do you seek to speak by the power of the Holy Spirit, spreading God's saving grace?
See you Sunday (and Wednesday)!
