A few have asked for a copy of something I shared a couple of weeks ago during our BE BRAVE series, week 6 message I called, “Pie Hole Priorities”. Since a few had already asked, I thought more of you might like to see it.
I’m pretty sure the original list here came from Rick Warren. But here’s the idea behind it, then the list.
If you’ve got a problem with your mouth, it’s much more serious that you think. You have a heart problem.
A person with a harsh tongue has an angry heart.
A person with a negative tongue has a fearful heart.
A person with an overactive tongue has an unsettled heart.
A person with a boasting tongue has an insecure heart.
A person with a filthy tongue has an impure heart.
A person who is critical all the time has a bitter heart.
On the other hand,
A person who is always encouraging has a happy heart.
A person who speaks gently has a loving heart.
A person who speaks truthfully has an honest heart.
That list stuck with me too. Hope it’s helpful. Remember, “out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Jesus said that!
