Ephesians 5:4 Our Talk

Good morning everyone!!!! I hope this is a great day in the Lord for you all. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. As we travel through this life sometimes things happen or are interpreted differently than we intended. Sometimes in our conversation we may say things that we think are okay at that time but are not. I am guilty of this many times and afterwards a sick feeling hits us right in the gut. Look at Ehpesians 5:4 "NEITHER FILTHINESS, NOR FOOLISH TALKING, NOR JESTING, WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT: BUT RATHER GIVING OF THANKS." Now, what is being said here? Neighter filthiness means shameful speech, indecent talk, filthy stories, and obscenity as opposed to purity. This next one really hits home for me......I need to and will take heed. Nor foolish talking...senseless "fool-talk", silly speech, coarse vulgarity, idle gossip or talk. We should not be engaged in this...this will now be on my prayer list. Nor jesting-this refers to quick responses, just speaking to speak, making light of sin, making jokes that are inappropriate. Which are not convenient-meaning these things are not compatible or appropriate with Christianity. Totally out of sync with the Christian life. But rather giving of thanks-this is speaking in a positive way, which will replace the ugly or negative or vices listed before. We should praise God, thank Him for all we have, avoid the sinful side, be sure what comes out of your mouth is worthy. Would the words coming out of you mouth be ones you could share or tell Jesus? If so, that is good, if not....it is time to re-evaluate and look at you position with God and where you are. This is a lecture to Johnny and I hope you received something from this. My heart is burdened at this time and I am praying and will continue to pray for forgiveness and to walk with Jesus, in His paths, rather than taking my own way. May God bless each and every one of you. Love you all. Have a great day in the Lord.
In Christ's Love and Grace
