Encourage others each and every day—nothing’s more important than our words. Did you know that, on average, each of us speaks about twenty-five thousand words daily?

But how much of that flow is fulfilling God’s intended purpose for our speech? How much of it reflects pride, rather than a gospel-motivated humility?. C.J. Mahaney
