🌍 Christian Worldview Series Part 6 - Speaking as Disciples
Speaking as Disciples – Ongoing Training in Love and Truth
As we reach the end of this series, we realize that talking about “words” from a Christian worldview goes far beyond good manners or avoiding hurtful phrases. It’s about seeing our speech as part of our spiritual formation—as disciples of Jesus.
📖 Disciples Learn and Live What They Receive
A disciple isn’t just someone who hears the teachings of Jesus. A disciple is one who learns, practices, and continues to be shaped by them. And one area we’re all constantly learning in—is our speech.
🛠️ We Are Still in Training
We all say things we regret. We lose our temper. We walk away from conversations wondering, “Why did I say that?” But the goal isn’t perfection. The goal is a heart that’s still teachable—open to growth, correction, and grace.
🕊️ We Can’t Tame the Tongue Alone
James says the tongue is hard to tame—and he’s right. That’s why we need the Holy Spirit’s help. As we pray, stay rooted in the Word, and stay humble, God shapes our hearts—and our words.
📣 Our Words Can Be a Gospel Tool
A comment, a caption, a quiet response—every word matters. Our words can plant seeds of the Gospel. People may hear Jesus in our speech long before they ever enter a church.
💬 Speak Love, Speak Life
Day by day, word by word, we become who we are meant to be in Christ. Let our speech show grace, invite peace, and reflect the Savior we follow. May our words become a quiet but powerful echo of the Kingdom.
📖 Scripture to Reflect On
“Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.” – James 3:2
🙏 A Simple Prayer
Lord, shape my speech as You shape my heart. Make me a disciple who learns through words—failing, repenting, and trying again. May my mouth speak the fragrance of Christ. Amen.
