Words That Defile

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Matthew 15:17-20

He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. —Proverbs 13:3

Recently I overheard an older woman speaking to a friend about the current obsession with dieting. “These days,” she mused, “I’m more concerned with what comes out of my mouth than what goes into it.” There’s a world of wisdom in those words.

Jesus put it this way: “Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man” (Matthew 15:18-20).

What we say affects others. “There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,” says Proverbs 12:18. But what we may overlook is the effect our reckless words have on us. When we gossip, or when we malign others, our words begin to ruin us, for we gratify the evil that is in us and strengthen it until it overthrows us.

On the contrary, when we guard our lips we strike a blow at this malevolence. “The tongue of the wise promotes health,” continues Proverbs 12:18. We protect our souls, for we weaken the very thing that lies in wait to ruin us.

Ask God to “set a guard” over your mouth and “keep watch over the door” of your lips (Psalm 141:3). Let your words promote life, not destruction. —

Guard well your lips, for none can know
What evils from the tongue may flow;
What guilt, what grief may be incurred
By one uncautious, evil word.  —Elliott

A word from your mouth speaks volumes about your heart.

Love it, Billie... this is totally amazing!!

[Billie]

Promise I didn't make these! Probably some of you got them in your email this week (or before), too.

John didn't have time to write a column this week, and I didn't have time to think of something on short notice. Please don't be offended.

[kayak]

I'm speechless.



Partly from laughing so hard ... :-)

[Common Tator]

Your pictures give celibacy a good name.

Those are just scary...especially because GW really DOES become Barbara when dressed like her. I knew he took after her, but this is too much! ROFL!!!

[Pippin]

Hey Billie!

[GodBlessUSA]

Rummy is such a strong handsome man. Now, I'm destroyed. LOL I'll never look at Rummy the same again. LOL This is hysterical Billie. :)

I love that blonde hair on Clinton. He most certainly is prettier than Hillary. :)
