The other day I went to an individual 's office to have some professional services done. I was told this person had a very bad mouth. This individual used his/her fowl tongue as a means of humor, all the while insulting her clients. While in her/his office I noticed he/she had some Catholic photographs up on her wall. One was of Christ, one of Mary and one of Padre Pio. I took his/her offensive tongue as a humorous and her way of “endearing” himself/herself to me. But the more I think of it, the more concerned I am. For this individual to have these Catholic images her/his office yet have such a fowl tongue causes me to pause. Christ said we shall give an account for every word we utter. What is going to happen to this individual at Judgement Day? I know it’s not for me to judge this person. However, I can’t help but wonder if his individual might have some demonic stronghold on her/his life. I really don’t know. But the more I think of it, the more this person needs my prayers. What do you think?

1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
Romans 12:21 - Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Excellent Scriptures, and very interesting as it just dawned on me that the evil referred to in some of them seems to be the human ego, which some call the “false self”.
