Falar
Você já percebeu o peso que uma única frase tem no dia a dia. O que sai dos nossos lábios carrega a capacidade de abençoar quem está por perto ou de causar feridas difíceis de sarar. Por isso, vigiar o que dizemos é um dos maiores desafios da vida cristã e exige maturidade e constante dependência de Deus.
As Escrituras tratam desse assunto com muita clareza e praticidade, mostrando que a nossa fala revela o que está guardado no coração. Parar para refletir sobre o uso da voz é o primeiro passo para alinhar nossa comunicação com a vontade do Pai e transformar o nosso convívio diário.
A Bíblia tem muito a ensinar sobre a arte de falar. As palavras têm poder de vida e de morte — podem edificar ou destruir, curar ou ferir, aproximar ou afastar.
O poder das palavras
A morte e a vida estão no poder da língua. A palavra branda desvia a ira, mas a palavra dura suscita o furor.

Without cousel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellers there is stedfastnesse.(Proverbs 15:22)
Falar com sabedoria

The words of ye mouth of a wise man haue grace: but the lippes of a foole deuoure himselfe.(Ecclesiastes 10:12)
