Preaching this week is Ben Vos.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand just how powerful words can be. In so many ways, what we say has the power to build up or tear down. Indeed, the influence we have just with our words is tremendous.
In Proverbs, Solomon paints the picture of two ways to live on Earth – a righteous way and a wicked way. The entire book of Proverbs is an illustration of the differences between walking righteously and walking wickedly. And spread throughout the book are these smaller examples and pictures of what it looks like to take the righteous or the wicked path. One such example is the connection between our hearts and our words.
In this week’s passage, we’ll look at this smaller picture of hearts and words, and hopefully understand the bigger picture Solomon alludes to: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. That’s the context in which Solomon shares with us his wisdom on hearts and words. And we’ll use some New Testament examples of these principles to help flesh out Solomon’s intent.
