This week, Pastor David continued our series "Us in Mind" by focusing on our responses, especially in relationships. He brought up how guns have evolved with safeties to prevent accidents and asks why we don't have the same kind of default for our mouths. He took us to James 1:19-20, emphasizing the importance of being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger because our words can easily cause harm much like a gun can. Pastor David explored how active listening and careful pausing can help us manage our words better, especially in moments of anger. Whether in marriage or any relationship, our responses should come from a place of thoughtful consideration. Here's the takeaway: hit the pause button before you speak or react, and strive for empathy and understanding in all your interactions.
