  • Apples of gold

           “A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” (Proverbs 25:11)   

    The apples of gold in settings of silver are thought to be golden balls arranged in silver filigree baskets. No doubt they were carefully hand-crafted, valuable, and very beautiful. So should our words be. – Jean Shaw

  • Watch those words!

    Lord, set a guard upon my lips,
    My tongue control today;
    Help me evaluate each thought
    And watch each word I say. —Hess

    God’s Word should shape our words.
