Let My Speech Be with Grace

Bios, a wise man of ancient Greece was given an animal to sacrifice. He was told to return to the donor the best and worst parts of the animal. Instead of receiving two body parts, the donor received only one thing: the tongue.

Truly, the tongue presents one of the greatest threats to an effective Christian life. For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart, Matthew 12.34. It is very easy to forget that others are watching the way we act. Do the things we do match up with the things we profess? Are we giving worldly people opportunities to mock Christianity?
