Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristНамуна
Commands of Christ: 72
Be wholesome in your speech.
Words matter. Unplanned words reveal the heart. For good or for bad, our words will defend or condemn us on the day of judgment. Amy Carmichael, the great missionary to India had a quote that always impressed me. She said, “No matter how suddenly you jar a bowl of sweet water, no bitter water will ever spill out.” True enough. Let us guard our hearts, ever walking in the Spirit, so our speech might be gracious and suitable for a Kingdom ambassador.
Scripture
About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
