Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17
Death and life are in the power of the tongue
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 18:1 – 18:24

  1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh [and] intermeddleth with all wisdom.
  2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
  3 When the wicked cometh, [then] cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
  4 The words of a man’s mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook.
  5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
  6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
  7 A fool’s mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
  8 The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
  9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
  10 The name of the Lord [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
  11 The rich man’s wealth [is] his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
  12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [is] humility.
  13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him.
  14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
  15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
  16 A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
  17 [He that is] first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
  18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
  19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.
  20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
  21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
  22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
  23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
  24 A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
