Clean Speech
Description
One day a teenage boy, rather small for his age, got the job as errand boy in an office. After working a few weeks, his employers were teasing him about being so small and one said, “You’ll never about to much you are too small.”
The boy looked at them and said, “Well, I may be small but I can do something which none of you men can do.” They asked, “What is it?” He replied, “Well, I don’t know if I should tell you.”
But they urged him to tell. So, finally, he said, “I may be small but I can keep from cursing and you big men can’t do that.”
The Bible teaches you to let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth (Ephesians 4:29 ). Christians are supposed to have clean speech. Jesus said that what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart (Matthew 15:18 ).
