Me:\u00a0 Who are y’all talking about?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Them gals were gnawin’ her name like starvin’ dogs on a bone.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 You know we should try not to gossip and slander others.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I guess you are right.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Beyond Opinion by Ravi Zacharias<\/p>\n

The greatest obstacle to the impact of the gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on our part to live it out.\u00a0 If teens do not see us exhibiting godly moral character in our daily lives, the apologetic arguments we provide them are invalidated, no matter how compelling our words are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is tough to watch our mouths sometimes and it is so easy to fall into the trap of talking about others.\u00a0 I pray that my words will be a blessing and not painful to others.\u00a0 So God how me how to live out this part of the gospel message today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daniel 2:20<\/p>\n

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever:\u00a0 for wisdom and might are his:<\/p>\n
