About this episode
It does not float in the ethereal realm of abstract theology; it comes down into the dust and grime of our daily lives, and particularly, into our mouths. We are bombarded by an endless torrent of opinions, hot takes, accusations, and flatteries from our televisions, our phones, and our neighbors. But our secular culture has no coherent standard for how to govern this flood. It is a world of managed lies and weaponized gossip. Into this verbal chaos, the Word of God speaks with piercing clarity. God is not silent on the ethics of speech. He is the God of the Logos, the Word, and He created the world through speech. It follows, then, that He is intensely interested in how His image-bearers, creatures made to speak, use their tongues. But it is also, when redeemed, an instrument of life.
