YOLO—Part 5

YOLO—Part 5

YOLO may be a popular cliche phrase, but the meaning behind it is significant. The expression conveys that we should go for it. Seize the day. Take risks. Make the most of the days we have, because—you only live once. As Christians, what should our perspective be? Moses wrote “Teach us to number our days carefully, so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.” Because we only have one life to live, we should learn to live it wisely. Let’s take a deeper dive into the meaning behind the phrase. Throughout this relevant new series, we’ll explore the book of Proverbs and find out what it means for us to live life to the fullest.

Problem | We don’t use our words to speak life to others

Solution | Speak life to everyone

Proverbs 18:21

On average:
• Women speak 16,215 words per day
• Men speak 15,669 words per day

–Dr. Matthias Mehl, University of Arizona
“One’s words (tongue) may bring death as well as life. A witness in a court, for example, can help determine by his words whether a defendant lives or dies. Those who love it (the tongue) refers to people who are talkative; they will suffer the consequences (eat the fruit) of what they say.”
–Dr. Buzzell, Proverbs

Proverbs 10:19

Proverbs 17:27-28

Proverbs 21:23

Proverbs 25:11

Proverbs 16:24

“Pleasant words are as sweet and therefore as desirable as honey from a honeycomb. Appropriately spoken words that encourage, soothe, or commend can be most pleasant and even uplifting to the point of helping a person feel better physically.”
–Dr. Buzzell, Proverbs
