Matthew 12:36 ESV "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,"Maybe it's not a bad thing! It appears that freedom of speech has come under attack lately but I wonder, based upon today's scripture, if that might not be such a bad thing! Oh, I can see the replies I am going to get relating to freedom of speech but let me ask you "do our actions speak louder than our words?"!  Today's verse should give us pause regarding our freedom of speech, too often we utter careless words that we will give an account for, so maybe we should be very careful about freedom of speech. I thought long and hard about my words, and I had to examine my actions to see if they align with not only my words but His Word. Freedom of speech is a good thing but freedom of action, to do the right thing, is so much better- let our actions speak volumes to the goodness of the Lord and how we treat one another! peace, tom
