Episode 890: Every idle word you shall render an account on day of judgment

In 12:36-37, Jesus taught about the importance of our speech: "But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment." I am convinced that 95% of believers do not believe these words of Jesus. They do not believe that they will have to give an account to God one day for every useless word they ever spoke. That is why they continue to speak evil of others, gossip, backbite crack filthy jokes, etc. They hurt others with their jokes too. Humor is a good thing. But humor that hurts others is not godly. You can get a reputation for humor thereby, but it is a careless word for which you will have to give an account in the day of judgment.
