More than likely, we have all said things that we immediately regretted. Unfortunately, whatever it was that we regretted saying wasn’t just random, according to Scripture. Jesus tells us that what proceeds from the mouth, originates in the heart. In Matthew 12:22-37, in response to a blasphemous accusation by the Pharisees, Jesus makes it clear that there is no middle ground when it comes to our views of Jesus – we are either for Him or against Him. Furthermore, Jesus makes it clear that the fruit of our lives gives evidence of our true nature. As we prepare to join on Sunday to worship our great God and Savior, please join me in praying that we would experience God’s gracious hand upon us.
