Idle Words
We all know that it is wise to think before we speak, but in our hurried world of quick, casual conversations and hurried texts, we can easily fall into the habit of speaking words we haven't actually thought about. But how does God view our words?

A soft answer is not usually our default response to conflict, but the Bible tells us that a soft answer has great power.
Putting it into Practice
In the past few posts, this series has addressed the importance God places on being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath, but how is all that to be accomplished? It all comes down to the grace of God.
