Chris.
We are encouraged to speak the Words of this Life when we speak in God’s House. There can be three meanings here: Firstly, the Words that help people to find and have assurance of Eternal Life. Secondly, the Words that help people to live out their daily lives now well. Thirdly, the conversations between True Believers should be in Light and not darkness.
