Jan 23rd (Matt. 15:11)
In verse 18 Jesus says the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart. Verse 19 says for out of the heart come evil thoughts. Man's heart is evil and needs cleansing. The only way we can put our hearts in check is lining up our thoughts and motives with God's Word. 1 Peter 3:9 says, Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing. vs 10 "whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech." We must purify our hearts before the Lord. Guarding our tongues is essential to the Christian life but guarding our hearts is even more essential since the things that come from his mouth come from his heart.
