“Christ has no body now but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks among His people to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses His creation.”

Words have power in the sense addressed because people are intellectually "lazy" We try to find short cuts to answers to save time. In reality we all have too much information to process and too little time to do it. Hence putting word labels on things can help with the filtering, but they can also lead to false impressions and conclusion as to what is true.
