Obscene stories, foolish talk, and course jokes- these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. Don't participate in the things these people do.
Ephesians 6:4-7
We had The Love Feast last night at church. We ate together, had communion, etc. But before communion, our pastor asked us to share blessings with the folks at our table. We bragged on God for a little bit, then he asked us to share our sins with one another. Confess. In front of others. Yikes.
But my hubby and I shared with each other, and we learned of each other's weaknesses, and we are now ready to encourage and help each other in these sins. Seems like it is pretty easy for folks to excuse the speech of one another and even ourselves. But God tells us not to participate in the these things. The scripture actually says, "these people." Seems dirty or wrong, right? "Don't be fooled." So we can be saying things that are not pleasing to God and not even realize it.
Encouraging you to think before you speak today. (So will I.)
