Nature AND Nurture: Exploring the Language Protein and the Power of Words
Did you know that there is a language protein, FOXP2, that signals the brain to higher levels of chatter? Scientists say that humans speak between 7,000 and 20,000 words a day, and the Bible tells us that each of those words we speak over ourselves, over others, over our circumstances, has power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, Proverbs 18:21 reminds us, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Whether we speak 7K or 20K words today, let's make them count for the kingdom.
