"Honoring God in the Morning"
“You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.” - Matthew 5:21–22
One of Satan’s plans certainly has proven in history that physical death is his goal. Murder is the specialty of the devil. But Satan has other tactics. Jesus equates anger and name calling with murder. Satan is the master of destruction and when we use our anger and our words to cut someone down we are tools in his hands.
You may not have physically murdered someone but have you torn others down instead of building them up with your words?
