President Obama was sworn in for his second term this week. I received an email today about “Social Media etiquette” brought on by the polarizing Tweet of a pastor in the northwest. He spoke very critically, questioning the integrity of the event and doubting the faith of Obama. I think the Tweet was in very poor taste. And many, many others were enraged.

Communication matters. What you say, when you say it, and how you say it can be the difference in building someone up or tearing them down. And, in most cases, there is a ripple effect to your words that you can’t anticipate.

This week we’re talking about the most dangerous muscle in the body: the tongue. You can’t have the relationships you want, or the influence you want, without learning what God says about the words you choose. I hope this message will challenge the way  you think about the things you say.

Remember that we’re hosting a Life Group Connection Event on Thursday, January 31, at 7p in our HB offices. Don’t walk through this new year without meaningful, encouraging relationships. There’s no excuse. Ours is a community of CONNECTION.

See you Sunday!

side note: I want to encourage you to pick up your Bible and read at home. I’ll be teaching from the first half of James 3 (toward the end of the New Testament) this week, so that’s a good option for personal study and reflection.
