OVERVIEW
What Is Our Responsibility When It Comes To How We Communicate?Focus Text: Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. There are various ways that we communicate. Whether it is verbal or by body language. The ultimate goal is to edify God and in turn it will minister grace to the hearer...
