We open Galatians 5 and listen to Paul’s frustration as false teachers confuse the church and soften the offense of the cross. Then we measure our own speech by Ephesians 4:29 and challenge ourselves to use words that fit the moment and give grace.
• Paul’s warning about being hindered from obeying the truth
• Why adding works to salvation removes the offense of the cross
• Paul’s toughest language aimed at leaders who mislead
• The difference between treating wounded sheep and confronting wolves
• Ephesians 4:29 as a test for whether our speech corrupts or builds up
• Why truth alone is not permission to speak
• How occasion, intent, and meaning shape what our words do
• A practical audit of our language at work, with friends, and at home
