Some Words communicate a more intense feeling
– Tired—> Exhausted

The contrast

– Key Plays
– World Champion

What I Witnessed
– Someone’s who the Devil had written their name in ink get ripped out of the pages and put into the book of life.
– It’s time to raise the intensity of our words to the significance of our activity.
Our Language to Match The Intensity of Scripture
