Communication
Lutheran Women in Mission have continuous interactions with multiple parties including congregational members, groups, zones, districts, and national. Successful and effective communication ensures the flow of information between all relevant parties, reducing the potential for misunderstanding, and helping to foster collaboration.
We learn from Scripture the following about communication:
- The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice (Psalm 37:30).
- “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24).
- “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37).
- So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding (Romans 14:19).
- And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24).

This all sounds so simple! Yet as sinners, we fall short of the expectations that God has for us. The Lord is gracious and allows us to ask for forgiveness. Through His Son, Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thank You, Lord!
