Words Kill More People Than Guns

Our words have power. Your words carry power, the bible says you have the power of life and death. (Proverbs18:21) Your words affect people to the point of they can actually change the way people think about themselves. You can destroy someone with just a few words. You can also heal people, with the right kind words. Tauren Wells said during his concert at Camp Electric “Words kill more people than guns.” Honestly, it’s true. It’s hard statistics to try to legitimately quantify. But the words people say can be awful and hurtful to point of giving someone depression. Your words can give life as well. You never know what someone is going through. Your words can save someone’s life just as much as destroy them. Use your words to speak life.
