I am sure we have all heard the saying sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me. Well the truth is that negative words can cause more pain and damage than broken bones. As Christians it is important we choose our words and speech to be gracious, wholesome and appealing to uplift and draw unbelievers toward Christ.
James 3:5-6
"Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."
