If you have been around Moms of Faith for any length of time, then you know that the tongue, words and all related to this very important topic has been studied many times. However, there is always something new and fresh in the Word that brings even more understanding. We can never know too much Truth...God's Truth that is... You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.

Single moms must to embrace forgiveness, love, and unity if they plan on healing themselves and their family.
