Speaking At The Speed Of Life
Our speach can be like pure water: beneficial and life giving, or it can be like a stagnant sewer: hurtful and poisonous. Clearly we all want to speak words that build up, the problem lies in the condition of our heart, not our desire. To change the way we speak we need a change from the inside out. Jed describes three different areas we can each work on to create this change in our hearts

Everyone Needs Encouragement
Encouragement should be a distinctive characteristic in the life of all believers. Love is the one thing that makes a spiritual family (the church) work, just like it's the one thing that makes our physical families work. If there is one thing that God wants us to learn how to do, He wants us to learn how to love. (Matthew 22:37-39)

A Reformed-Charismatic Approach to Prophecy
God is still giving the gift of prophecy to his people; we should desire all gifts and the gift of prophecy in particular; and we should strive to practice this gift in obedience to scripture. Prophecy as practiced in the NT church was primarily concerned with the edification, encouragement and consolation of God's people rather than with prediction of the future. Contrasted with the gift of tongues, although both gifts are equally a work of the Holy Spirit, prophecy is able to be understood by all; it is addressed towards people rather than towards God; it builds up not only the speaker but also the hearers; and it convicts unbelievers. Phil also discusses some practicals of prophecy in the Lord's day meeting in our church.
