The Power of the Tongue - Part 4

3/1/2016

0 Comments

 
The careless heart is filled with lies, curses, and quick-tempered words. The book of Matthew has this to say, "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.

The book of Proverbs has much to say about the careless tongue. In chapter 10:18 we read, "Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool." In the same chapter, verse 32 states, "The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words." A perverse person is a person who has an obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of the consequences.

If you find your heart to be a careless heart, hear what David said before God, "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me."

Action Point:  Take time today to read Psalm 51. Make it your prayer to our God.

Thoughts on heritage...

"Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings."
​                                                                                    - Walt Disney

"It is not the honor that you take with you, but the heritage you leave behind."
                                                                                    - Branch Rickey
