SCRIPTURE 经文：污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (以弗所书 Ephesians 4:29)
SHARING 分享: 甘力克牧师 Rev. Nicky Gumbel 曾经讲道，在沟通中，言语的重要性不在于你说了多少，而在于你说什么和为什么说。使徒雅各强调了这一点，他说舌头虽然是身体的一个小部分，却有大能力，正如他在雅各书 James 3:5 中所说的。 在我们的今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY 分享中，我们将再次关注这个主题，即言语如何发挥大能力，无论是善是恶。每天，我们可能有意或无意地用我们的言语做两件大事，要么破坏与他人的关系，要么与他人建立良好的关系。
今天的经文引用了以弗所书 Ephesians 4:29，其中说我们不应该让任何腐败的话语从你的嘴里出来，而应该只说那些有利于造就的话语，这样它们才能使那些听到的人受益。正如箴言Proverbs 10:19所说， “多言多语的人无法逃脱罪过，但智慧人会保持沉默。”
在 “神如何看待我们话语的力量” 的讲道中，梅莱娜·耶格尔 Melaina Jaeger 和 玛凯拉·切德 Makayla Czeder 问道：“你知道吗，我们的话语具有生死的力量，正如箴言 Proverbs 18:21 所说的？箴言 Proverbs 11:9 进一步指出，“我们的话语比我们有时想象的更有影响力。” 他们进一步举例说：“在学校里，你是否曾有老师、家长或孩子说过一些伤人的话，让你心烦意乱？” 也许你多年来一直因为老师说过的话而认为自己不够聪明。
因此，我们必须时刻记住神在圣经中所说和教导的话，结合之前在我们 “言语的力量” 分享中的讲道，正如箴言 Proverbs 18:21 提醒我们的那样，我们必须明白从我们口中说出的话的后果，以及：“生死在舌头的权下，喜爱它的，必吃它所结的果子。” 祈求我们作为基督徒，能以口中说出的话语为他人树立榜样。让我们成为世人所敬仰的基督榜样 —— 当他们与我们同在时，他们会感受到神对他们的爱，因为我们对他们说的话总是包含着属灵的生命。让我们用神的话语填满我们充满爱的心，让我们所说的话能反映出我们作为基督徒对他们的爱，并传达神的公义和平安作为回报。
Rev. Nicky Gumbel once preached about the importance of one's words in communication. It is not how much you say, but what you say and why you say it. The Apostle James emphasized this when he said that the tongue, though a small part of the body, has great power, as he said in James 3:5. In our 今日灵粮 Spirit FOOD TODAY and sharing today, we will focus again on this theme, how words can exert great power for both good and evil. Every day, we may consciously or unconsciously use our words to do two big things, either destroying relationships with others or building good relationships with others.
Today's scripture quotes Ephesians 4:29, which says that we should not let any corrupting words come out of your mouth, but only those that are good for edification, so that they may benefit those who hear. As Proverbs 10:19 states, “In the abundance of words there is no escape from sin, but a man of wisdom will keep silent.”
In a sermon on “What God Says About the Power of Our Words,” Melaina Jaeger and Makayla Czeder asked, “Did you know that our words have the power of life and death, as Proverbs 18:21 also states? Proverbs 11:9 further states that “our words have more influence than we sometimes think.” They further gave examples, “Have you ever had a teacher, parent, or child say something hurtful in school that weighed heavily on your heart and mind? “Perhaps you have spent years thinking you were not smart because of something a teacher said in the past.
Therefore, we must always remember the words God says and teaches in the Bible, combined with the previous sermons in “The Power of Our Words” sharing, and as Proverbs 18:21 reminds us, we must understand the consequences of the words that come out of our mouths, and: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Pray that as followers of the Christian faith, we will be examples to others in the words that flow from our mouths. Let us be examples of Christ that the world observes - when they are with us, they will feel God’s love for them because what we say to them always contains spiritual life. Let us fill our loving hearts with God’s words so that the words we speak can reflect the love we give to them as Christians and convey God’s righteousness and peace in return to them.
