2013-01-27-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning January 27th 2013 in the 10:30 service.

Scripture:Romans 8:1; Colossians 4:6; Matthew 12:36-37; James 3:8-10

Topic: Holy Living

Notes:- There are times when the un-condemned will feel condemned. When you sin, your heart condemns you, but He has forgiven you.- Story: Sandra cooking, what is missing... usually salt. The one thing lacking in my spirit is in my speech... glorifying God yet criticizing people- We are supposed to be Jesus talking, relating to each other- Salt preserves, heals, seasons; is your speech full of mercy, favor?- You learn more about a person by what he says about others than what others say about him- By your words you will be justified or condemned- Whining, griping, complaining will not change anything, but saps spiritual energy...- Words are like nitroglycerin; they can blow up a bridge or heal a man’s heart- Ignorance yearns to speak up, put down, ridicule, accuse... we never have all the facts- Satan accuses; Christ intercedes. Who do you want to be like? Refuse to accuse- Some speak from experience; some, from experience, don’t speak
