This quote is part of an exchange my brother (Hitch) had today with someone who knew our Dad... in the 70s... Never give up or think what you say/do does not matter

"I was part of a group of men that prayed weekly at the little White Church your Dad pastored. We saw some awesome answers to prayer from there. Your Dad made a difference in the lives of these men that gathered there weekly.We are still in touch with Ann . Their son David passed before Dave Sr. Ann lives near Bend OR now Her son Berin is a teacher in Redmond, OR. We moved from K-Falls in 1980. My son John graduated in 1980 from KU. He lives in MT now. Thanks for confirming my friend request.. "
 
You just never know how your words can help change the lives of others especially when you hold them up in prayer. Gods word is only void to those who turn a deaf as Gods word brings blessings or cursing.

Very well said. Words can hinder, words can heal. Words are planted. When planted given by God he will harvest what he has sown. We must always be careful to plant the seed in others that God has given us and must also remember that every word/action/reaction plants something in someone else.
 
It's not I, but God who works through me as His vessel.

1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1Co 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
