SPEECH!!

"And after a while come unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee". Matthew 26:73. Whoo.. people are listening. Here in the case of Peter they were sure that he was "one of them", for his speech betrayed him. The Christian simply is not interested in low-level thinking or speech. If the conversation of the gutter appeals to you, check your standing with the Lord. Words are powerful. Christians have to stop impulsive and emotional speaking. Words can kill and they make alive. Think, think, think before you say anything or write anything. Don't take permanent decision on the basis of temporary circumstances. Speaking your mind instantly may win the battle but surely you will lose the war- then you will be sorry. Texans say like this "If people and fishes keep their mouth shut they will not get into trouble". David prayed: Let the words of my mouth, and meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O lord, my strength, and my redeemer". Psalm 19:14. Well, just a Sunday morning thought!!!!
