We minister to our neighbours, to our relatives and to the people we work with. On our jobs, we work not just for the money, but also to be able to help others. In our families and neighbourhoods, we do not just do the minimum, but we try to make a positive contribution. Because we are God's children in the world, we want every place we live, and every place we go to be better because we have been there. Our outward relationship also includes words.
Words can give strength, or they can destroy.
They can honour, or they can debase. As God's people in the world, as ambassadors of Jesus Christ, our words should be wisely chosen to build up the people around us. We are to be good stewards of our tongues. One way to be a good steward of words is through evangelism. The gospel is a powerful message that we have been given and told to share.
