Jas 1:26<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.<\/p>\n
Pro 18:20-21<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. \u00a0Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.<\/p>\n
Pro 4:20-24<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.\u00a0Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. \u00a0For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. \u00a0Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. \u00a0Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.<\/p>\n
Pro 10:11<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.<\/p>\n
Psa 14:1<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 The fool says in his heart, \u201cThere is no God.\u201d They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.<\/p>\n

Ezk 16:30<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u201cHow sick is your heart, declares the Lord GOD,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Sometimes we are more concerned with what we do than what we say. It is important to do what is right for the honor, glory, and praise of Jesus Christ. Yet, it is what is in our hearts that comes out of our mouths and is a very good indicator of what are actions are going to be. Our minds mull over many things. Thoughts come in at the speed of light. Some of them are good thoughts and others are not good at all.\u00a0 <\/span>It is good for us to be able to discern these thoughts as good or bad. Bad thoughts should be taken captive. When they pop into your head, pray, \u201cGod this thought is not honoring or glorifying you. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who has revealed this to me. Cast it out of my head. Discard it from my memory. Amen.”<\/p>\n
Where do these bad and unholy thoughts end up if we allow them time in our minds? They end up in our words and actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
How can we recognize them? Continually being in God\u2019s Word will. God\u2019s Word filling our hearts and minds will transform our hearts and minds. However, there must be a desire driving us. It is an intentional choice and desire above all else in life to honor and glorify Jesus Christ in all of our thoughts, words, and actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Do we actually think we can overcome all of the stimuli we get each day from news outlets, sports, social media, culture, or friends and family by attending church once per week and committing to listening to a Christian radio station? Both of which I think are good. No, they can never and will never replace personal time in God\u2019s Word\u2014EVER. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
If you truly want to honor and glorify Jesus Christ fill your heart with His Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
