CLEAN THIS OUT OF OUR HEARTS

Proverbs 25:23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

"Slanders would not be so readily spoken, if they were not readily heard.

A froward heart, one that delights to be cross and perverse, is not fit for society, the bond of which is Christian love. Nor will he countenance slanderers, those who take pleasure in wounding their neighbour's reputation. Also, God resists the proud, and false, deceitful people. Let every one be zealous and diligent to reform his own heart and ways, and to do this early; ever mindful of that future, most awful morning, when the King of righteousness shall cut off all wicked doers from the heavenly Jerusalem

The man who has no command over his anger, is easily robbed of peace. Let us give up ourselves to the Lord, and pray him to put his Spirit within us, and cause us to walk in his statutes." Matthew Henry/Easton's Bible Dictionary
