Pioneer Operating Budget
As a teacher, my favorite lessons are the ones that my students take and apply in their real life. I teach communication, and it is so important that students understand the power of their words. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” (NIV) and helping my college students understand that and use their words for positive things is always so encouraging to see.
I once had a student who struggled to express herself. As the semester went on, and she had more opportunities and knowledge as to how to share more of herself in a positive way, her confidence increased and she was able to share more of what she was thinking. She learned how to speak life to others, and even to herself.
Look around the church today. Who have you taken time to “speak life” into? That is, who have you paused to encourage, say a kind word to, or pray for? Today’s offering is for the local church budget. Please prayerfully consider giving to support the ministry and mission of our church, as we seek to be a place where life-giving words are shared regularly.
