Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

One of the hardest things for an individual to do, it to do what they say they will do. Often we hear the term that talk is cheap. However I refute this statement since it is evidenced in scripture that our words are heavy. That is, what we say will have an impact on us now and will impact our offspring for generations to come. Sometimes we get so excited that we say the first thing that comes into our minds. This can have serious consequences for us and can sever our destiny. An example of this is the deal made by Jephthah to the Lord regarding victory over his enemy. In Judges 11:29-40 we read of Jephthah’s thoughtlessness. He said this; ‘if you give me success over my enemies, I will sacrifice the first thing that comes out of my house.’  The Lord gave him victory and when he arrived home his only daughter came our running to greet him and had to be sacrificed because of the pledge he had made.  Today remember that ‘loose lips costs lives’ so ensure that you meditate and think before you speak. Talk can be very costly!
