Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

First, thank you for your prayers, e-mails and calls, especially this week, that help us so much. 

One of my favorite TV comercials is the cowboy who gets knocked off his horse by words.

I was reading this morning and read the following – by Adrian Rogers:

The tongue is the meanest member in the church. The tongue is a fire and a world of iniquity. James says the tongue, though it be very small, is powerful and influential. Therefore the tongue should be handled with care.Your tongue need not be “set on fire of hell” (James 3:6). Like the Apostles at Pentecost, it can be set on fire from heaven! If God lights the fire and controls it, then the tongue can be a mighty tool for the winning of the lost and the building up of the church. The important thing, of course, is the heart; for it is “out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaketh” (Matt. 12:34). If the heart is filled with hatred, Satan will light the fire. But if the heart is filled with love, God will light the fire.
Words can not only tare you down, they can lift you up . Words give you encourgement and enable you to do things you wouldn't think you could do.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
