Word Power

I love Christian bookstores, don't you? 

How important are words?

There are one million words in the English language.

75% of these words are technical and not used in common speech.

25% of these one million words are in a dictionary.

20,000 words make up an average vocabulary.

20,000 words are used by an average woman daily; 7,000 words are used by the average man daily. Plus the grunt factor.

10,000 words we use on a regular basis.

12,000 words are included in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

21 words make up John 3:16.

What if we use our relatively few words to heal and uplift each other, rather than wound and tear down?

Let's change the world word by word.
