Words matter. Is it ironic then, when I first posted this, that the title had a typo?
The words we use matter.
The words others use matter.
One of the most probing questions you can ask is "Why did you use THAT particular word?"
Often, they give subtle indications into what we truly think and feel.
In short, this has two important consequences for those in ministry.
1 - Be cautions and deliberate with the words you use. Speak carefully.
2 - Pay attention to the words the people you're speaking to use. Listen closely.
