"The mouth speaks what the heart is full of." — Jesus.
Profanity and hypocrisy aren't just "slips of the tongue"; they are leaks from the heart. It’s time to ask the tough question: What do your words say about your soul?

A telescope brings distant stars closer so we can see their majesty. But when we treat God with frivolity or make Him a punchline, we flip the telescope. 🔭 We make an infinite, holy God look tiny and insignificant.

Whether on the left or the right, the moment we trade obedience for political power, we lose the heart of the Gospel. It’s time to tell the sheep from the goats.

Thank you very much. Covetousness is one of those 'silent sins' that we don’t contemplate much until we realise that it has us in its grip. It's been a tough series to write because it's caused me to search my own heart. But then, I guess, that's what Bible study should do. I'm blessed and encouraged to hear someone else has had the same experience.
