Brackish

Can blessing and cursing come from the same mouth? Maybe the unexpected answer is yes if the spring is contaminated. And salty water is deadly to drink.

Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
— James 3:11

James's question is metaphorical. Can blessing and cursing come from the same mouth? Maybe the unexpected answer is yes if the spring is contaminated. And salty water is deadly to drink.

Filtering what comes out is harder work than monitoring what goes in. We're told, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." (Prov. 4:23)
