The Emotional Curse (1 of 2)
Series: WORDS
Exodus 20:16
By Dr. David Davis
Exodus 20:16 - "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
A man went to see a marriage counselor because he and his wife were having problems. The counselor said, "you have grounds for all this difficulty?"
The man said, "Grounds - why we have about an acre and a half."
"No, you misunderstand - Do you have a grudge?"

"Passive words" are just as dangerous. That is - to just passively take in the unsolicited and the unbiblical words of other people. Just to accept them as true - truth about yourself - truth about other individuals.
The word "Bear" means - "even to begin to speak - to utter - false - witness (testimony) against your neighbor (to all of your associates - friends - family)."
"You shall not even begin to speak a testimony that is not absolutely true against any associate."
"WATCH YOUR WORDS."
You cannot begin to imagine the lives that have taken their c ...
