"NO CORRUPTING TALK!"

Ephesians 4:29-30                 (ESV)
"29 Let "NO CORRUPTING TALK" come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30 And do not grieve the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption."



The words we use are only one means of communication we can use.  There are many different ways to get a message out to others. If someone were reading your social media post just before they were contemplating suicide, how many would change their mind?

When scripture tells us to let "NO CORRUPTING TALK" come out of your mouths, it is really addressing what we allow to dominate our "conversation", whether verbal or non-verbal.  When we type something on a computer screen, and publish the words for the entire world to observe, they automatically become words that can not be taken back.  And many times this communication is not edifying to the body of CHRIST?

Conversely, how many people contemplating suicide wouldn't change their minds?  Our words can have a lot more power than we ever realize.  Let your words be encouraging and uplifting, for you never know............?
