2017 Theme:

“In Christ” – Romans 8:1-5

To our Visitors: We welcome you here this morning and hope that you will make plans to come back at your earliest

convenience. Presently, our congregation has no minister, elders, or deacons. We are prayerfully working toward that goal. We do not go beyond the limitations and instructions set forth for the one

and true Church. If you have any questions as to our practice or beliefs, please do not hesitate to ask any of the men of

the congregation. We will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have. We hope that your time with us will be pleasant and uplifting.

For today: A.M. Adult Bible Study: Jeff Moore - “Freedom”

A.M. Assembly: Roy Rogers

P.M. Assembly: AJ McPherson

Wednesday Bible Study: “Have Fellowship” – John 1:7 – Mark Meadows

“If You Can’t Say Anything Nice…”

God’s Word has much to say about what we say (and what we shouldn’t say).

Consider this direct command: “Do not speak evil of one another, brethren” (James

4:11). Other translations have, “Do not speak against” (NASB), and, “Do not speak

evil against” (ESV) “one another.” This is sometimes one of the easiest traps in which

to fall, but let us be reminded that we are to “put away…all slander” (1 Peter 2:1), for

“whoever spreads slander is a fool” (Proverbs 10:18).

It takes two to have a conversation –the speaker and the hearer. Evil words must first be generated from evil thoughts. And then, once they’re spoken, evil-speaking requires

evil-hearing. There must be someone who enjoys hearing bad things about brethren.

Agape love will not permit one to speak evil of a brother, and agape love will not permit one to listen to evil about a brother. This is not some trivial matter, for my

tongue (and my ears) can have a direct impact on whether I “dwell in [God’s] holy hill” or not (Psalm 125:1-3).

(Written by David Sproule, Palm Beach Lakes church of Christ)
