Breaking ones spirit, it goes on and on, if not stopped. Cause them to experience the Gospel—not only in word, but with power. Because our gospel came to you not simply with WORDS, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction (1 Thessalonians 1:5). So true, Robert!

Angry words are like splintered wood, they can pierce the heart, make eyes shed tears. Very well writ Robert!...ab

'Only words' helped Hitler annihilate 6 million Jews + 6 million (other) 'others' during WW2. Only words... You nailed it, sir. Hope and Healing, Gershon
