Praying for Digits Family and Friends

Sitting down to write this feels kind of pointless right now.  We learned after bc this morning that one of our FiA sisters lost her life while running. We prayed for Digits, Dianne Wells, when we found out.  I ask that we all continue to pray for her husband, three children, her family, and her friends.  I didn’t know Diane that good but I do know she always had a big smile and a great attitude.  I also know that she was a big part of FiA and was many of our M’s close friend.  I’m at a loss for words but I ask you men to hold this family in your prayers right now.  The backblast will not be pointless if we remember to do just that.

 

Men of the Stand.  I really enjoyed being with you all this morning.  You are all great men and it’s the bonds like you have that make this F3 thing work.  Thanks for being accountable to one another and welcoming to me.  I’ll be back to see you guys soon.  Merry Christmas.

Conditions:  35ish something.

Devo: The Words of Our Mouth, Charles Stanley

James 3:1-12

Have you ever considered what a wonderful gift speech is? When God created us, He gave us a voice and a language so we could communicate. With our tongues we can praise and glorify God, teach His Word, pray, and express encouragement and loving devotion to one another.

However, our voices also have the power to hurt. It often starts with something small, like a thoughtless comment that can snowball, causing unforeseen damage. At times we may express our opinion in a critical way, which tears the other person down. Or out of curiosity, we might ask a question or make a suggestion that sows seeds of doubt and distrust, thereby damaging another person’s reputation.

Scripture calls this gossip, and God has strong words to say about those who engage in it. They separate close friends, betray confidences, and stir dissension. Most alarming of all is the fact that the Greek word for a malicious gossip is diabolos, which is also translated “devil.” When we use our words to tear others down, we are acting like the devil rather than like Jesus Christ.

God takes our words very seriously, and so should we. Jesus said, “The mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart” (Matt. 12:34). Therefore, what we need is a heart transformation, and the only one who can do that is God.

Since gossip is the opposite of love, ask the Lord to give you His love for others so you can be someone who protects reputations, covers sins, and blesses others with your words
