I have had many, many different kinds of Chicken, but never DIESEL FRIED CHICKEN!!! Can you imagine? Yuk!!! Of course, they really didn't mean to say that; they are just selling Pepsi, Diesel fuel and Fried Chicken, but if you look at it quickly, it says it. Once said, it leaves an impression and you can't take it back. Words you speak are like that too; once said they echo forever. Oh, I wish I could take back some of the things I have said during the course of my life, but, it is what it is!! The thing is... words reveal where your heart is and that is important...
Matthew Chapter 12
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.
33 “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure*n4 brings out evil things. 36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”"

Jesus healed a blind and mute man and the Pharisees said he did it by the power of Beelzebul (the devil). Jesus labels this comment as unforgivable sin. Furthermore, it was a sign of their heart and they would have to pay for it someday (in the final judgment). So, a person's words are one of the signs of how they will be judged in the last day. May we all be as innocent as the one who wrote the sign because what we say can be very, very dangerous!!!
