STINKIN' THINKIN'

Words are POWERFUL!  They can bring death or life!  It seems like every time I turn the news on these days I hear of another pre-teen or teen has committed suicide because they'd been "bullied!"  One of the "weapons" used to cause these kids to kill themselves is Face Book.  Like bullets from a machine gun, words are fired at the targeted victim repeatedly and relentlessly.   

We need to teach our children by raising them to THINK differently.  We need to set the example by doing what Paul spoke about in  Philippians 4:8-9:  Fix your THOUGHTS on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of PRAISE.  Keep putting into PRACTICE all you have learned and received from me--everything you heard and saw me doing.  Then the God of peace will be with you.

Negativity nurtures decay. Stinkin' Thinkin'  results in a "garbage mouth!"  A person who pollutes the air with their foul words can cause great destruction to mankind.  Let us bring a "breath of fresh air" by thinking pure thoughts and speaking words of love and affirmation into the atmosphere.

THINK before you speak!  Are you speaking words that will bring life...or are you speaking words that are damaging life?  Remember, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue!"  [Proverbs 18:21]
