I want to talk about the power of words on a very practicle level because words really are framing your life. Think about it, words shape your thinking that's why the scripture says, be transformed by the renewing of your mind, you renew your mind with words. Words influence what you believe that's why the scripture says, faith cometh by hearing. Also words influence your actions, what you think influences what you believe and what you believe influences your actions that's why the scripture says, faith without works is dead. Every action has a consequence. In James 3:2-8 James talks about the effects the tongue has in your life because words effect you mentally, physically, and emotionally. Proverbs 21:23 says, "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles." Proverbs 4:20:22 says, "For they(God's word) are life unto those that find them and health(medicine) to all their flesh." And Proverbs 18:20 says, "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips(words) shall he be filled." So words influence your entire life spirit, soul, and body. Think about how many situations in your life would be different if you thought differently, believed differently, or acted differently. That's one way the word of God can change your life from the inside out. Because it's what's going on on the inside that determines what you experience on the outside. Think about how your life could be different if you thought in line with the word, believed in line with the word, and acted in line with the word.
I can't say that I disagree.

The Constitution is a challenge to Br0nc0.
Jesus taught in Matthew 13:34-37 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings up evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoklen. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.
