Avoid Godless Chatter

Good Morning!

But avoid all irreverent babble and godless chatter [with its profane, empty words], for it will lead to further ungodliness.  -2 Timothy 2:16

I think we have all been guilty of this at some point or other. Words have power and sometimes we don’t treat them in that way. In our conversations, do we point our words towards Jesus? I am not saying that every conversation needs to be spiritual but do we converse in a manner that reflects God’s goodness? Do our words build towards relationship or towards hate? Are we building or destroying? I am not saying it is easy, in fact the Bible says that the tongue is the hardest thing to tame and without God’s help I would venture to say it pretty much impossible.

“Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.”  -Lysa TerKeurst

“Don’t mix bad words with your bad mood. You’ll have many opportunities to change a mood, but you’ll never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke.”

Dad Joke of the Day:

Every morning I announce to my family that I’m going jogging, but then I don’t go.

It’s a running joke.

Have a great Wednesday!
