  1. Words reveal our heart • JESUS (Matthew 12:34-37) You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. • {35} The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. • {36} But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. {37} For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
