Just saying.

Thanks, Mike. Of course I readily acknowledge that, at the same time I am fully cognizant of the gravity of the implications of our Lord's admonishment written in
Matthew 12:34-37, namely,
"... out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
I construe even the words one writes to fall within the purvey of this admonition, as they should for they are "part and parcel" of man's "works" by which we are to be judged (
Matthew 16:27).
Having stated this, I am also reminded of the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, saying,
"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment" (
John 7:24). This is what I am persuaded to believe I have, and am doing. If not, you would NEVER have been privileged to read the words I've composed and posted here, for they would NOT have been published.
