On Saturday, January 28th, 2023, Rev. Dr. Charmaine Johnson shared a moving sermon about the language of God and the language of salvation at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit, MI. Referencing James 1:19, which reads “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” This verse reminds us that God speaks to us in a language of love and understanding, and it is up to us to recognize His language and respond with humility.
Rev. Johnson then went on to Ephesians 4:29 which says “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” This verse reminds us that if we speak the language of God, it will be a language of grace that brings about salvific change for the betterment of mankind.
