What's the differeence between "think before you speak" and "consider what your words say about your heart?" The first line, which many of us no doubt heard numerous times from our parents growing up doesn't get at the source of our words. What we say doesn't come out of nowhere but reflects the condition of our hearts. So instead of encouraging people to repress their sinful words we should instead encourage them to think about what the words they do speak say about where they're at with God. This was the gist of my sermon this Sunday from Matthew 12:22-37 entitled "Words Reveal the Heart." If you'd like to hear more, click here.
