The Grandfather's Challenge: The True Cost of Cheap Talk
Brothers and Sisters, we must confront the truth about the currency we spend every single day: our words. We have been conditioned to see the smallest coins—the penny, the nickel—as worthless. They clutter our pockets, and we discard them without a second thought. Yet, far too many of us treat our own words with the same disregard. When you repeat a casual, negative saying like "If I had a nickel for every time..." you are not just complaining; you are actively placing a low-value price tag on your own time, your peace, and your future. You are empowering the Monster Tongue to speak damnation and pits into your path with the cheapest currency available. I reject that poverty of speech. Your life, your dignity, and your struggles are worth a hundred dollars or more per moment. If you demand that kind of value, you must enforce the discipline required to protect it. THE CORE DEBATE QUESTION: Since our words hold the power of life and death, is the repeated, casual use of negative colloquialisms (like the nickel saying) a sign of spiritual weakness, or is it just harmless "being colloquial"? How do we hold ourselves accountable to speak only the $100 affirmation, and what cheap, damaging phrase are you committing to silence forever? “The disciplined, pays attention to every word they say!” Please, express your opinion about this. Invite others that you feel would benefit from these topics of discussion. By sending them the link.

I do believe it is a sign of spiritual immaturity & if unchecked, it is spiritual weakness is the result. It is not "harmless" colloquialism... However, colloquialism is often viewed as "harmless" because it is widely accepted and excused... & for this reason, its impact flies under the radar. Being intentional & aware is the best way for me to hold myself accountable. I just had an incident this morning that made me think, "was my verbal contribution necessary or helpful?". Just because I observe a behavior, must I speak on everything God allows me to see, hear, or discern? Is it beneficial to verbalize & address EVERYTHING? Am I doing myself a disservice by being overly invested & micromanage, thus adding on unnecessary stress? The only behavior/speech I am accountable for is my own. As much as I have learned & know over the years of experience & academia, sometimes I still find myself saying, "I'm tired" our "this is too much". (I know better & I know I can find better language for these feelings (even if I just "think" them).
