But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Sometimes we speak without realizing that our words will have an impact on someone. But, in our attempt to impress, perhaps our words are taken, not as we meant them, but as an offense.
Words can really have an impact on some.
Today, I was listening to a talk show host on the radio, while driving my car. He began to talk about this guy being sentenced to prison for five years. Seems the man had been driving, while talking on his cell phone. I am sure this man would love to back track and 'take back' those words 'written in haste'. He is paying a high price for the 'use of words'.
