Learning to listen and thinking before we speak can help train our tongues, but it cannot save our souls. These practices only address symptoms and surface level issues. They will not and indeed cannot remedy the source from which our words set things on hellish fire. 


Real faith changes how we speak. Real faith shapes and forms our words. Only because real faith comes from the one who is the word of God. Our only hope of being rescued from the fires of hell within us and that await us because of sin is receiving Jesus, the word of God, who is able to save our souls and give us new life now and forever. 


Real faith changes how we speak, but it's because real faith changes our hearts.
