The Venom within Us All

Share a commentThe apostle Paul doesn’t pull any punches in Romans 3:13. He says the human throat is an open grave. Why? Because what we say reveals the death within us. In this message, Stephen Davey explains why God takes our words so seriously; and how our speech is evidence of deeper spiritual decay.In this fifth message from Paul’s list of indictments against the human race, you’ll see how the Bible compares the tongue to a serpent’s fangs. You’ll hear real-world stories of deception and self-justification, and you’ll be challenged to examine how you speak to others. Do your words tear down or build up? Do they reflect decay, or grace?This episode helps you recognize the venom that hides in the heart; and points to the only remedy that can change what flows from your lips: the gospel of Jesus Christ.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackLearn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
