In today’s society, we lost our sound due to our habits or rather the seven deadly sin of speaking. The seven deadly sins which are gossiping, judging, being negative, making excuse, exaggeration and dogmatism are making it difficult to grasp others attention. Instead of diving into these seven deadly sins, Treasure suggested we build a powerful foundation we can stand on. Fist, Honesty, be clear and straight to the point. The second authenticity, be ourselves. Third, integrity, practice what we teach and other will listen. Finally, love, wish well upon

    This morning the focus of my meditation was on Tamar the beautiful young virgin daughter of the King David. No doubt she was waiting for the man she trusted God would one day bring to her… I was touched by the tragic irony of Tamar’s dress. She ripped the fabric of her robe as surely as Amnon ripped the fabric of her honour. What touched me most was the inappropriate response of her brother Absalom. No doubt he loved his sister, but here’s what he said to Tamar, “Be quiet and don’t take things to heart”(2 Sam 13:20).…

    The voices we use every day may not seem to be of importance when thinking about an individual’s identity, however the human voice is something worth paying attention to. Some people have different voices that they use for different environments, while others have one main voice they use to communicate with people in their surroundings. In “Speaking in Tongues”, Zadie Smith explains the up and downsides of speaking with more than one voice, as it can either provide flexibility for things in life or come off as unauthentic for the speaker. Having many different voices can be a result of imitating languages from other cultures through memes, as people will tend to pick up on all different kinds of accents and languages and put them to their…
