Words are powerful; take them seriously!

Jesus said, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'

Matthew 22:37-39 (MSG)

For quite sometime now, God has impressed upon my heart the need to write a blog. A blog with a very specific purpose.  To encourage woman of all ages and all walks to honor the men in their life. This is your husband, your brother, your father, your son, your friend or someone with which you work. Honoring them begins with how we as females not only speak to them but how we speak about them.

In today's society men are disrespected, criticized and degraded in both large group settings or even over a simple cup of coffee. Not only is it acceptable to do this, it is also encouraged through television, movies and other forms of media. Men are often portrayed as nothing more than lazy, inferior, worthless beings incapable of doing anything the 'right' way.  Unfortunately, this dishonoring behavior is becoming more common place even among Christian women.

It is my desire to help correct the misconceived, inaccurate views and blatant disregard of men based on what God's word teaches us as truth. Our speech generally reflects our heart and shows our true character.

 Matthew 12:34b-36 says: "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man [person] brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. "
