Proverbs 11:9

About this episode
We live in a world that is drowning in words. We are bombarded by them from every direction, from the twenty-four-hour news cycle, from the endless scroll of social media, from the mouths of politicians, advertisers, and influencers. And in this deluge, we have forgotten something fundamental, something the book of Proverbs never tires of reminding us: words are not neutral. Words do not simply float in the air like harmless motes of dust. Words are either instruments of life or weapons of death. Our secular age wants to pretend that words are just expressions of personal truth, that your reality is constructed by your narrative, and my reality is constructed by mine. It is a lie that untethers language from the God who spoke reality into existence. The Bible teaches that words are deeply moral things because they are connected to a moral universe governed by a moral God.
