Big Ten Part 9: Friends Don’t Lie // Pastor Keith Indovino

We all know that words can hurt us way more than “sticks and stones” can. The ninth commandment reveals the immense importance that God places on our words. James writes that the tongue has the power to direct our lives, and the lives of others. The problem we encounter is that we both bless God and curse people with our tongue. When we are honest about our dishonesty and accept Jesus as our Savior, we hear God say, “You are my child whom I love.” That truth gives our tongue the potential for us to become true witnesses for our neighbors.
