In the three-score-and-ten years allotted to us on earth, we can leave behind a legacy of words. But we will answer for them soon enough. Words as ideas can wreak havoc. Or they can bless. May we be remembered for the latter.

Every Careless Word

There will come a day, when....no longer will the fool be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected. Isaiah 32:5
It's a free world. You can pretty much anything you want. And because this world is under the power and influence of Satan, ideas contrary to the mind of God seem to find an audience one way or another. And often with disasterous consequences.
"There is...what I may call a black inspiration, the influence of evil spirits who work in the hearts of the disobedient, and not only excite their wills but assist their faculties and qualify as well as incline them to be more assiduously wicked and more extensively mischievous thna they could be of themselves."
"I consider Voltaire, and many writers of the same stamp, to be little more than secretaries and amanuenses of one - the devil - who has unspeakable more wit and adroitness in promoting infidelity and immorality than they of themselves can justly pretend to."
"They have for a while the credit of the fund from whense they draw, but the world little imagines who is the real and original author of that philosophy and poetry, of those fine turns and sprightly inventions which are so generally admired."
"Perhaps now, many applauded for their genius, would have been comparatively dolts had they not been engaged in a cause which Satan has so much interest in supporting." John Newton
The Lord knows the thoughts of a man; He knows that they are futile. Psalm 94:11
"The world's wisdom lies in scattering doubts, quenching hope, and denying certainty; and therefore the world to us is sheer folly. God hath poured contempt upon the wise men of this world, their foolish heart is blinded; they grope at noonday."
C. H. Spurgeon THE CROSS OUR GLORY
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:36-37
