SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 – SEASON OF PEACE
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones
“SLIPS OF THE TONGUE”
The Bible tells us the world began as a ‘dark and formless void.’ After God spoke, saying “Let there be light,” the creation process commenced. Each new addition entered the world as a result of God’s speaking. Our faith is based on our knowledge of God as revealed through God’s Word in Scripture. Words shape our common lives in all social spheres. We read words, write words, listen to words, and speak words. Access to social media has revolutionized the way we communicate. Social media provides a forum for those who would otherwise have no voice in politics, culture, and commentary to speak. But the technological advances in communication have also increased the scope and power of gossip, false advertising and propaganda. Our scripture texts for today point to the importance of speech tempered with wisdom and good intentions.

O God, because without you we are not able to please you,
mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things
direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
