The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.

Vance Havner

“O death, where is your victory?  O death, where is your sting?”  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
The English Standard Version

Words can be icicles, chilling to hear
Or coarse, stinging nettles, drawing a tear.
Words can be rose thorns, to give you a start,
Or swiftly flung daggers that plunge to the heart.
Ghosts of some sorrow that should be long past,
Dragons of anger, that resist to the last,
Locks on a door, without any key—
These are the sad things words can be.

But words can be droplets of freshening rain,
Or invisible fingers to brush away pain.
Words can form shelters for someone afraid,
Or trumpets of hope or a soldier’s swift blade.
Medals of honor for bravery done,
Kisses of thanks as warm as the sun,
Doors that were shut, swinging open and free—
These are the glad things words can be.
