Proverbs 18:21
“Death and Life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Matthew 12:34b
“…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

Be careful not to speak from anger and criticism, but choose love and encouragement. The seeds you sow in your conversations as a father and a leader, will determine what relationships you’ll reap. Watch your tone, and give yourself an assessment and challenge yourself to speak with a heart of love and encouragement.

COT:
We are commanded to love one another. Bearing a brother’s burden with him is a way to do that. F3 is a place where we can lean on each other, praying for and with our brothers as they go through trials and temptations. Below is commentary based on a sermon I heard recently.

The following is an excerpt from The MacArthur New Testament Commentary on Galatians 6.

Bear one another’s burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. For each one shall bear his own load. (Galatians 6:2–5)

Christians are continually (present tense) to bear one another’s burdens. Bear has the thought of carrying with endurance, and burdens is from baros, which refers to heavy loads that are difficult to lift and carry. Used metaphorically, as here, it represents any difficulty or problem a person has trouble coping with. In this context the reference suggests burdens that tempt a sinning believer to fall back into the trespass from which he has just been delivered. A persistent, oppressing temptation is one of the heaviest burdens a Christian can have.
To be freed from a sin is not always to be freed from its temptation. The spiritual believer who truly loves his brother and sincerely wants to restore him to a walk by the Spirit will continue to spend time with him and make himself available for counsel and encouragement. Prayer is the most powerful weapon believers have in conquering sin and opposing Satan, and nothing helps a brother carry his burdens as much as prayer for him and with him.

The brother who has been delivered from a trespass has an obligation to let his spiritual friends help him carry his burdens, It is not spirituality but pride that makes a person want to “go it alone.” James tells believers to “confess [their] sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that [they] may be healed” (James 5:16). God Himself is the believer’s ultimate source of strength, and on Him we are called to cast our burdens (Ps. 5:22) and our cares (1 Pet. 5:7). But He often uses fellow believers as His agents to help carry the burdens of His children.
