Today’s Scripture: Matthew 15: 1-20
(Click on the link to read the scripture.)

Here it is again. The message Jesus gives about what comes out of our mouth. Ouch! The bible talks a lot about how we speak. James calls the tongue a fire that consumes entire forests. He even claims that no one can tame the tongue. What do we do about the words that come out of our mouths?

If you look closely you see that Jesus says the words that come from our mouth overflow from our heart. They indicate our heart’s condition.

If we want to tame our tongues we must deal with our hearts. Take a look at the words you said today. What kind of heart issue are they revealing?
