After the Sunday service: A Biblical call to deeper conversations

How do you use your words on Sundays? While you’re among your church family, what do you say and how do you say it?

There are times when our Sunday services see Proverbs 12v18 played out clearly before our eyes – as we either use “reckless” words that “pierce like swords” or as we find the right words of comfort and hope to say to someone who is struggling. And Scripture is clear that there is as much of a divine rebuke for the first as there is divine joy in the second (James chapter three).

Often, however, both our words and their consequences are more subtle.
