Do other people make you sin with your mouth?

Here's Mary Cassian.

What comes out of your mouth, what you say, how you respond to circumstances, that's

your responsibility.

Your husband doesn't make you say nasty things.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Tuesday, January 20th, 2015.

Did you realize that your tongue is like a steering wheel?

Your words set a navigation for your whole day.

Mary Cassian will tell us why today.

Now, if you've listened to revive our hearts for any length of time,

you know that Mary Cassian is a dear friend of this ministry.

She's written a book called Conversation Peace, that's P-E-A-C-E, and it's all about the way we use our words.

hand to the tiller. What she means is hold on to the steering wheel. So let's listen as Mary

challenges us to use our words for God's glory.

Have you said something wrong? Have you said too much or said something in the wrong way?
