We enlarge an experience or just continue to talk in order to have people pay attention to us. Generally, we are not terribly careful about our words. However, when it comes to repeating or working with the words of God, we need to be very careful. We must not add a word or take one away from what God has spoken (Proverbs 30:6). Words that are added or removed can change the tone and meaning of a sentence. God's words are holy.

James wrote that the tongue is very hard to control (James 3:8). It is bad enough when we err with our words or experiences, but when it comes to that which God has spoken, there is no room allowed for error. His words are pure and holy. Anyone who would dare to change them is in danger of being removed from the roll call of the Book of Life (Revelation 22:19).
