"Freedom of Speech and the Christian’s Responsibility"

Your words are not your own.
That is not a suggestion for Christians—it is the truth of what it means to follow Jesus. Everything you say, post, text, or speak into the world reflects Him. And in a culture where everyone has a voice and many don't seem to have the discipline to use it wisely, that responsibility has never mattered more.
The First Amendment protects your right to say what you want. But Scripture holds you to a far higher standard—and for Christians, what is at stake goes far beyond a constitutional right. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow ask what God's Word says about how a Christian stewards that freedom.
Before you speak, before you post, before you send—three questions worth sitting with: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?
You are not your own. And neither are your words.
