We live in an age where everywhere we turn seemingly has negative messages. The news is riddled with evil doings and malicious speech. It’s just plain depressing at times.

In computer science, there’s an old saying that states, “Garbage in, Garbage out.” If we fill our hearts and minds with garbage (evil things) eventually the things that come out of our mouth will be rubbish.

Psalms 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

1 Corinthians 10:31-33 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
