The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. - Proverbs 18:21

Words that CREATE

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. - Genesis 1:3

Words that HEAL

Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.  - Proverbs 16:24

Words that TRANSFORM

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. - Romans 12:2

Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. - Ephesians 4:29

For Discussion:

  • Why are distractions so effective at derailing the good work we’re doing?

  • As we approach the finish line of our good work, why is it important to remember that we’re not aiming for what’s popular—we’re aiming for what’s important?

  • What steps can you take to stay focused on the work God’s given you to do?

  • Identify the distractions you face while doing good work and commit to avoiding those distractions in the future.
