Most of the games in the Final Fantasy series do a fantastic job building scenes where the musical score sets the perfect mood for the dialogue that is coming next… but all that beautiful ambience can be quickly shattered by a character like Tidus who seems to immediately insert his foot into his mouth as soon as he gets the chance to speak. While the environment helps set the tone for what comes next, it is what the characters choose to say (or not say) in these moments that makes them memorable for the right reasons or the wrong ones. Dialogue choices can make the entire experience come together or fall apart… and just one errant statement can change it all.

The words that we choose to say, write, and share throughout our day matter… regardless of our intentions, what we choose to communicate either serves to build up the kingdom of the Lord or brings shame to it. The world has never had as many options as we currently possess to share our thoughts with others around the world in real time… with all of this incredible power and opportunity, what is it that we are choosing to say? The Lord has given each of us a platform to speak on His behalf and allow His voice to be heard through us, so let’s choose our words carefully and use our voices responsibly. What we say will resonate far longer than we may realize.

Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephesians 4:29

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:36
