The Word Is Putrid
A friend of mine used to give me words to work into any public
speaking that I was doing (except preaching)—not just any word,
but a challenging word used in context. A few years ago I was asked
to be the Master of Ceremonies for CYC. My friend assigned this
word: putrid, an adjective meaning “in a state of foul decay or
decomposition.”
Finally on the last night of CYC, I have the opportunity! Ben and
Travis get volunteers to take off their shoes and socks to play a
game. They finish, and I get up and say, “Ben, there is only one word
to describe that: Putrid!” One year—that was all I got; maybe it was
the word.
Words matter! Maybe not that word, but we do need to realize that
words have great power!
I love you, I hate you; I forgive you, I will never forgive you. Words
shape and define our lives. The Bible says much about the power of
spoken words.
The Epistle of James leaves little room for us to misunderstand that
our words do matter (3:2–18). His example of a bit and a rudder
reminds us that our words give direction to our lives and the lives of
others. How often do we throw words out like they don’t matter?
Barry Binion
Words give us the power to build up or tear down, the power to
direct people’s lives for the better. Words matter. Choose them
wisely!

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS (copied)
When someone does a kindness
It always seems to me
That’s the way God up in heaven
Would like us all to be
For when we bring some pleasure
To another human heart,
We have followed in His footsteps
And we’ve had a little part
In serving He who loves us—
For I am sure it’s true
That in serving those around us
We serve and please Him, too.
BENEFITS
Highland Park Church of Christ will be hosting a
benefit dinner for Maywood Christian Camp on

adults and $10 for students. If any youth would
like to serve and sing at the benefit, let Barry
know. Also, anyone else wishing to attend should
let Barry know today, so Highland can get a count
of those planning to attend.
There will be a benefit for Lindsay Watkins,
relative of Pam Thomas, at the McCain Farm,
28850 CR 8, on April 18. Lindsay has stage IV
recurrent metastatic melanoma.

SENTENCE SERMONS
A man would do nothing if he waited until he
could do it so well that no one would find fault
with what he has done.
Learning is like rowing up stream; not to
advance is to drop back.
Never stand begging for that which you have the
power to earn.
Don’t find fault with what you don’t understand.
To worry about tomorrow is to be unhappy
today.
It is easier to go down hill than up, but the view
is from the top.
Do unto others as though you were others.
Anyone with a heart full of frinedship has a hard
time finding enemies.
You make a living by what you get, and a life by
what you give
Little things are important; people stumble over
pebbles, not mountains.

*****************************************
IN ANGER
When I have lost my temper
I have lost my reason too.
I’m never proud of anything
Which angrily I do.
When I have talked in anger
And my cheeks are flaming red
I have always uttered something
That I wish I hadn’t said.
In anger I have never done
A kindly deed, or wise,
But many things for which I know
I should apologize.
In looking back across my life
And all I’ve lost or made,
I can’t recall a single time
When fury ever paid.
