“The Potter’s Hand” “That’s Why We Praise Him”
“The words of a [discreet and wise] man’s mouth are like deep waters, and the fountain of skillful and godly Wisdom is like a gushing stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].” ~ Proverbs 18:4 (AMP) ~ n the 1990’s, a scientist by the name of Masaru Emoto performed some experiments on the effect that words have on frozen water. When you look at frozen water that is free from all impurities under a microscope, you will see beautiful ice crystals that look exactly like snowflakes. But when you look at water that’s polluted, or has chemical additives, the snowflake looking crystals won’t appear. This was the experiment.
Offerings and Connection Cards will be collected in the Offering Boxes located just inside the two main entrances into our Worship Center.

Emoto poured pure water into containers labeled with negative phrases, such as ‘I hate you’ and ‘fear.’ After 24 hours, the water was frozen, but not crystallized. In fact, the water formed gray, murky, misshapen lumps. He then poured pure water into containers labeled with positive phrases, such as ‘I love you’ and ‘peace.’ In 24 hours, the frozen water in these containers produced perfectly shaped, sparkling crystals.
Barrels now in Room #201, next door to office.
Unbelievable, isn’t it?

Emoto then performed a similar experiment with white rice, except this time he had a classroom full of students speak to the containers every day. To one container they spoke uplifting words, such as, “I like you.” To the other container they spoke insulting words, such as, “You’re ugly.” After 30 days, the rice in the jar that was constantly insulted had shriveled into a dark gray, mushy mass. The rice in the jar that was spoken to in an affirming way was as white and fluffy as the day it was made. I heard about these experiments and I thought it seems pretty far-fetched. Yes, his work is controversial. It has provoked much debate and more than a little skepticism. But isn’t it interesting that there was even a basis for such a conclusion to be made in his experiments?

Forget about frozen water and rice for now. Instead, think of how your words affect the people around you, the people in your life. Your words create for others either a dark mushy mess or a wholesome environment. They bring life and health, or they crush the spirit. “The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” ~ Proverbs 15:4 (NIV) ~ So, let’s pay close attention to the words we use throughout the day. After all — PEOPLE MATTER MORE THAN RICE! Let’s remember… First Southern Baptist Church of Prescott Valley is A Life-Giving Church — Giving Life.
It is almost here! Time for Growth Groups! This February we will be starting the Immerse Bible reading series with the first book: Messiah $5. This book covers the New Testament in a nine -week book club-like experience. Sign up using your Connection Card. Let us know if you would like to join one of the Zoom Meeting groups or become a host for one. Also, let us know what day of the week would be best for you and what time of the day.

Blessings on your new week as you consider how your words to others can bring healing and life. Pastor Terrell
