Weekly Family Faith Connection
As Posted by Dr. Frederick in the Charger Chat
This week, Pastor Korte talked about Taming the Tongue in church. It was a powerful message that directly supports the Dignity Revolution. Pastor had everyone take a bandaid to encourage us to use our words to heal and not hurt others. I am going to challenge all of our school families to continue this challenge by taking a band-aid and wearing it on your hand for 24 hours. Every time you see the band-aid, speak words of love and encouragement to someone in your life. Lift them up and praise them!
"God tells us in His Word that the tongue has incredible power. We can use our tongue to bring blessings and life or curses and death. The saying "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me" is simply not true. Our tongues can be the most difficult thing to control and leave us with great regret if we use our words to hurt. There is hope! The Bible tells us that with the help of the Holy Spirit we can have power and control over our tongue" (BibleStudyTools.com).
Faith Application Activities for the Family: At dinner or at bedtime, share about your day. What were the high points and what were the low points. Talk about what you could have done differently in these situations? Use the band-aid this week to speak love and life into someone in your family and to a friend.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of speech. We want to make sure that we are always bringing glory to You and showing those around us your love. Let our Words, be words of truth, inspiration, and life. Amen.
