And turn a life-robbing chainsaw into a life-giving river. That's why I need to make King David's prayer my prayer - each day: "Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips" (Psalm 141:3 ). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-battle-for-the-transmitter-6701 2012-09-17T11:00:40-05:00 All day long you're transmitting to the people around you. Does it sound like Jesus? When you have surrendered the transmitter to Christ, then He is really in charge. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-terminator-6467 2011-11-03T14:13:08-05:00 This tongue we've got is daily either making people feel more alive or more destroyed inside. So, hold the put-downs, swallow the sarcasm, and cushion the criticism. Remember, your tongue can be The Terminator. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/someone-talked-6445 2011-09-23T09:18:40-05:00 We can sink people's lives with our words. World War II G.I.s were warned not to say the things they could say, because they were wanting to save lives. See, that's still an important warning and maybe it's a time for us to pray as the Holy Spirit points this out inside us, "Lord, help me to stop this tongue of mine before more hurting words come out." "The tongue has the power of life and death." http://truewoman.com/?id=1653 2011-04-15T10:16:19-05:00 How would you grade your conversation from yesterday? Were your words healing, or did they cause someone to stumble? http://truewoman.com/?id=1604 2011-03-03T12:01:49-05:00 You may never have literally taped your mouth shut, but could your tongue use a little taming? http://truewoman.com/?id=1614 2011-03-03T11:49:17-05:00 While no one in their own power can “tame the tongue,” thankfully, God provides all you need to discipline this unruly critter! As you cooperate with Him, here are some practical tips to help you tame that unruly tongue. http://truewoman.com/?id=1616 2011-03-03T11:46:36-05:00 “I was at my wits end with my husband. We’ve been married just over a year and have had some of the worst verbal, knock-down, drag-out fights of my life! We’re like junkyard dogs with a bone—ain’t NOBODY gonna take from us what we believe is ours." http://truewoman.com/?id=1617 2011-03-03T11:40:47-05:00 Watch the change that occurs in your attitude and in the atmosphere of your home or workplace when you intentionally engage in “speaking life” rather than “speaking bitterness.” http://truewoman.com/?id=1632 2011-03-03T11:32:56-05:00 Not long into the message I began to get a little uncomfortable. My discomfort increased as the preacher began a tirade against certain individuals, even referring to them as “idiots.” Years later, I don’t have a clue what his text or his point was, but I can clearly recall this preacher’s critical words.
