Overflow (Part 2) by Don Campbell

Matthew 12:33-37
Overflow of the heart – garbage in-garbage out

  • Note that slanderers were listed with homosexuals.
  • It’s funny how some Christian people consider homosexuality to be so perverse and anathema but we wouldn’t bat an eye before tearing someone down with our words.
Proverbs 6:16-19
The Abominable Seven
  • Of the seven, 3 are words we say. Lying tongue, false witness, man who stirs up dissention. Lumped right in with Wickedness and Murder!
Revelation 21:8 All liars…
  • People lie. Southerners are the worst at this….we are protective liars (to protect you from the truth) but we are really APPROVAL ADDICTS and we don’t want you to think bad about us or worse…talk bad about us so WE WON’T TELL YOU THE TRUTH!
“For every thousand hacking at the leaves of evil, there is only one striking at the root”
~ Steven Covey

We all know we have a “word” problem, but all we do is to address a few of the peripheral issues and never strike at the root.

What is going on inside my heart to cause that to overflow?

Why do people slander? Gossip? Deceive? Tear down others with their words?

It is because HURTING people HURT people.

We tear others down to NUMB the PAIN of our own sin, our own weaknesses, our own mistakes.

After all….Misery loves company.

Ezekiel 36:26-27
