Don’t Be a Potty Mouth

“The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.”
Psalm 36:3

Just how important are the words we use? What we speak reflects what is in our hearts.  This being the case when we use ungodly words it tells us two things. One, we are as lost as a goose and could care less what others think or two we are living a life that is out of the will of the LORD, grieving the HOLY SPIRIT and causing the lost to suffer because of our ungodly actions. “The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit”

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

“The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit,.... Not only sinful, but sin itself; his mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, of filthy and unchaste words, of corrupt communication, lying, deceit, and flattery; out of the abundance of the wickedness of his heart his mouth speaketh; and which shows the badness of it, and proves all that is said before of him;” 

How sad it is when those that have tasted the grace of GOD to use the lower levels of the world to express themselves. When we forget GOD and what He expects of us we become no good for Him or for those He gave His life for. “he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.”

What we say will have a result

For the good or for the bad.

We must choose words that lift up

Instead of ones that are sad.

Choose words well and you will see

The effects on others they have.

Not pouring salt into wounds

But words that act like salve.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12:33-37
