       No matter how good you think you are in living out your Christian life, in how closely you follow the Bible and what it says, the reality is if that’s really true then that is going to be demonstrated in mostly positive speech. A person is going to be speaking blessings mostly. If you sit down and have a conversation with a person and what you hear is: “Boy, things are sure messed up in Washington. Look at this and that,” or you hear, “Sin is just increasing more and more in the world. The world is dark and dreary” or if the person says, “People are always up to no good. No one can be trusted,” if you hear these things, then you know you are dealing with a person on the lower levels of consciousness. Our speech gives away were we stand in our lives. The reality is, your negativity has blinded your focus on the positive things in the world, those things that the Apostle Paul told us to think about (see Philippians 4:8). You think you are wise in your ability to recognize sin and be sad about it. Actually, all you’re doing is being disobedient to God.
