Ephesians 4:25

Ephesians 4:25

 

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”  NIV

 

Words are such gifts… but we handle them so loosely… sarcastic, cutting, negative, suggestive, hurtful, vulgar, selfish, sly, deceptive, false… priceless words, tools to encourage, build-up, edify turned into weapons of mass destruction.  How does this happen?  My grandmother used to say that out of the mouth came that which was fed in… feeding in sarcasm, suggestive, deceptive … no wonder much of the language today smells like vomit from a vile source.  Lord help us feed/eat purely so that we might produce words that encourage our fellow man.
