Matthew 12:34 tells us that out of the heart, the mouth speaks. The words that come out of our mouth reveal what’s inside of us — and as Christians, what’s inside of us should reflect Christ. If we have poor self-control over the words we speak, it’s likely we have poor self-control over our actions, too. As representatives of God to the world around us, it’s our responsibility to tame our tongue and speak truth in love.
