Title: Words are Powerful 


Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a

Your words have power. Power to build up or tear down. The most unwholesome talk doesn’t come in the form of “bad words” but in any word being used to tear someone down.


Regardless of what they have done, what they are doing, or what they might do, your words reflect what you think your responsibility is towards others, especially those that drive you nuts, who have hurt, who will hurt you.

And no matter how you look at it, Jesus wants to use you to point that person towards Him.


The people you influence are wondering if your words will build them up. How you build up others will help answer that question for them.

Real Men build with their words.

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
