Communicate God's Way

Words are powerful, very powerful! The words we use can uplift, encourage, comfort, teach, and guide the people around us and often will have long-lasting effects on your family, friends, and peers. How you use your words define you as a person, a leader, as a friend, coworker, etc. We speak about sixteen thousand words a day, almost six million words a year, enough to recite the Bible over seven times a year. How do we plan on using these sixteen thousand words every day? God tells us how to use these words to maximize our communication skills.

The truth is, there are over seven billion people in the world and not one thinks that same way you do. Therefore, to communicate effectively, we must know the thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and spiritual levels of the people with whom we interact. We do this through caring and listening with a godly attitude. This book describes how we as Christians--and quite frankly non-Christians--can effectively communicate with virtually everyone we speak to.

God has much to say about the words we use and how to use them, and we discuss these throughout the book. The Word says in James 1:26, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue deceives himself and his religion is worthless." Our religion is not worthless; through the Holy Spirit, it is our responsibility to use our words wisely. This book will help you build better relationships, be a more effective communicator, and to further the Gospel of Christ by living and talking the way God wants you to.

Use those sixteen thousand words you speak every day to help, guide, encourage, teach, comfort, edify, spread the Gospel, and improve the lives of those around you. This book will help you do just that!

EXCERPTS:

Excerpt 1:

God chose to create the entire world with words. And we are created in His image. Our words are powerful! We are not God, but we do have control over one very powerful instrument - our tongues.

James 1:26 says, “Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.”

Since I know my religion is not worthless, I am commanded - not asked - to keep a tight rein on my tongue, and so are you! I had a boss once who was fond of saying, “Says easy, but doesn’t do so easy.” I think having a tight control of our tongue falls into this category.

Excerpt 2:

Our world continues to change, and often not for the better. But as Christians, it is our responsibility to bring positive change to the people with whom we interact and to share Christ’s Gospel. Two millennia ago, apostles taught by Christ were accused of turning the world upside down. What can we do to be accused of turning the world upside down for Christ today?

Excerpt 3:

The reality is that there are over 7.5 billion people in the world, and not one of them thinks the same way as anyone else, meaning not one of the 7.5 billion people on earth thinks like you. This is because we have different cultures, races, religions, values, experiences, and relationships, not to mention that God, in His wisdom, wired us all differently. We really do not have a total commonality with any other person on earth. Everyone has their own story, and their story is different from the other 7.5 billion people with whom they share a planet. Therefore, their perspective and the way they think is different from yours.
