TurningPoint Community Church

• The tongue is a dangerous tool when we lose sight of our common life in the Spirit.

• Love calls us to delight in dispensing honor.

• Clarity always trumps eloquence when it comes to the gospel.

• The church of Jesus is to make the gospel plain and clear; unaltered, uncomplicated and unfiltered.

• Words matter, always.

• We should value all of the gifts of the Spirit equally, but they are all meaningless without love.

• The best speech of earth or heaven, without love, is only noise.

• The very nature of God’s love is that it is to be directed toward someone else.

• Our words are the measure of our love.

• Practice a more excellent way -- love.
