Grace for your spirit. September 11, 2012

Grace for your spirit
But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For of the heart comes evil thought, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts false witness, slanders. Matthew 15:18-19

Freudian psychology concluded that we are all evil, and unless we have a buffer, all of that evil will come out, and if were are to communicate in a civil manner, the "Id" must be tamed. It is a poor substitute for the solution given us by Jesus. He knows we have evil in our hearts, but He doesn't just wish to buffer what comes out of our mouth, but rather to change our hearts and remove the evil. When He transforms our heart, our mouths will follow. It is not what we put in our mouths that defile us, but how we what comes out
