It is not what goes into the mouth that defies a man, it is what comes out of the mouth that defies a man. This is what I call a power quote by Jesus. Exclamations and idle words can be a problem for their tendency toward automatic responses taking the power out of my tongue.
I've often heard people calling Jesus' name in vain trying to escape their responsibility by saying they were not referring to Jesus by saying His middle initial was "H'. The devil I'll bet tricks them by meaning the middle initial is H to be for Himself.
Nevertheless this idle word and vain name ring thru my nose is a hard reflex to eliminate. But I am trying with some success to eliminate such automatic reflexes and it is working to a great extent. It is improving my well being outlook also.
