Words: From the Heart and Nowhere Else

Watch this video from a guy named Paul Tripp. I don't know a lot about him, but I like this video:



So the implication of this is that there is nothing that comes from our mouth that is not an outpouring of our heart. There is no excuse for anything we say other than, "My heart and spirit led me to say that." That is foundational, and deeply convicting. The next time I say something stupid to my wife, I can't say, "Oh, you took it the wrong way" or, as Tripp says, "That's not what I meant." Of course it was.
