Words matter. Right? This Sunday, we're looking at how being a Christian completely transforms how we use our words with others. Dick Lucas used the be the pastor at St. Helen's Bishopgate in London and on this passage from Colossians 3 about words, he writes, "When people are turned to Christ, it is inevitable that they should bring all their past to him for acceptance or rejection. The validity of old habits, conventions and manners is challenged. However time-honoured they may be, with the coming of Christ, and the start of discipleship, this is inescapable."
