Words can build up, or they can tear down.

Words have caused more hurt and wars in our world than any other single thing.

Words have also caused more healing and reconciliation than any other single thing.
It’s all in how they are used.

The writer of Proverbs dedicates much of his tome to our words, our speech and our tongue.

We conclude our study of the Book of Proverbs, Wise Guys, coming back to one of, if not the hardest lessons to master — Our words.

The outline for this message also includes scripture from the Book of James 3 verses 2-12
