You Can Change

Some Christians in the first century had a problem with abusive speech.

The Christian apostle Paul admonished them to put away
" wrath, anger , badness, abusive speech, and obscene talk.
{ Colossians 3:8}

However harsh speech is more of a problem of the heart then the tongue.
{ Luke 6:45}

That is why Paul added:
" Strip off the old personality with it's practices,
and cloth yourself with the new personality."
{ Colossians 3:9,10 }

So change involves not only talking differently but also feeling differently.
