The Words Out of Our Mouths

just the other day a radio personality made a disparaging remark about a group of women whom he had never even met. this person has always been known for his acerbic tongue and cutting comments. but he crossed the line, he went too far it was cruel and unnecessary but the point i want to make is that anyone, be they black, white or indifferent should be held accountable for the words out of their mouths. rap artists and r&b singers who refer to women as b%#@!&s and ho's shock jocks on the radios whose only purpose in life is to be as vulgar and offensive as possible newscasters and talk show hosts who say inflammatory things just to stir up some controversy. what has happened to society? have we lost all sense of morality? bigotry is bad for business racism is radically wrong there is no excuse nor will any apology make it go away nor erase the words that come out of our mouths because once it is spoken it can't be unspoken Jesus made a comment to the Pharisees when they rebuked His disciples for not washing their hands before partaking of the meal He said,'"whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated, but those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile a man." so be careful of the words that you choose and use for the words out of our mouths tell people what is on our mind and in our heart
