TAKE OUT THE TRASH TALK
On our journey in this Christian life toward change and becoming more like Christ, (which is our goal in this life) our speech plays a vital part in such development and change. One of the proofs of our life changing for the better after salvation is in our speech.

Matthew 12:33-37
“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
