Words To Live By

The importance of words cannot be overstated. In our earthly realm, a business leader, politician, or coach can speak or write words of encouragement that result in people achieving more and reaching heights previously thought unattainable. The opposite can also occur when charismatic leaders influence their followers to commit atrocities.

The critical importance of the word is never more illustrated when you consider that God spoke the word and the universe came into being. Think about the apostles when they realized that Jesus's life represented a fulfillment of prophecy, "...The word became flesh and dwelt among us."
