Words are powerful. Your voice has the ability to bring good or evil into your life.

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

Someone once said, " The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words."  How true.
