Unclean Lips

I was listening to a sermon by Alastair Begg. In this sermon he quoted this poem below which really spoke to me.

If all that we say in a single day, with never a word left out, were printed each night in clear, plain black and white, it would make a strange reading no doubt. And then just suppose before our eyes close, we should read the whole record through, and when we sigh and when we try, a great deal less talking to do. And I more than half think that many a kink would be smoother in life's tangled thread, if half what I say in a single day were to be left forever unsaid. -Author Unknown

I have a black and white personality and left unfiltered, and even filtered, my lips get me into trouble and can cause pain. I was very convicted by a Bible study I did with a phenomenal group of ladies. The Bible Study was entitled Conversation Peace by Mary Kassian. It is one of the greatest influences on my life. It is an easy Bible study to follow (video supplements not necessary-save your money)and great Scripture memorization!
