WHAT YOU SPEAK IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE
The words you speak is how you think and what you believe in your heart. Oh, you can pretend and lie to cover up the words you speak. If you let your guard down, and speak without thinking, you will say what you believe in your heart.
In the Bible, the Book of James says that the tongue is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Just think for a moment: What starts arguments? What starts fights and wars? You could go on with the questions. The reason is, what the people involved believe in their heart. Most of the time, people don’t care if they hurt someone by their words. Why, because they don’t have the morals God originally gave to us on how to live. Jesus said that we were to love others as we love ourselves. Evidently, some people do not love themselves.
If you just look at how our society is going, you will notice that each generation seems to care less and less on what they say. I remember when someone cussed or swore or told dirty stories, they got their mouth washed out with soap. Now, every kind of foul or dirty language is ok. Especially in the movies and now on TV. We call it ‘freedom of speech’. I read comments on articles or blogs where someone invariably has to use vulgar language.
I believe that there is still hope. The hope lies in the person of Jesus Christ. If you disagree with this article, I will pray for you, If you agree, may God bless you. If you want to change, confess your sins and ask Jesus to come into your life. It’s a free gift. Let your words set you free.
