Speech and Words

The secret principle of all things is speech and words.
You do not yet know the true knowledge of speech and words, therefore you consider them unimportant. However, speech is fruit from the tree of action, for words are born of action. God created the world by a word. You may have faith in your heart, but unless you share it through words, it is worth nothing.
When you say, “In this present age words are of no account,” you say this with words, do you not? If words are of no account, then why do we hear you say this with words?
