Spur One Another On Toward Love

Author: Katie

The Bible says we should speak edifying words about our brothers and sisters in Christ.....encouraging words, not harmful ones.

"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." Eph 4:29-37

I say this as I attempt to remove the plank(s) from my own eye. When personal thoughts are available to the public, one should always be careful to consider the effect the words said may have on those they speaks of as well as those who are listening. Although what we speak may not necessarily be "evil," it may not necessarily be "good" either. What one person considers "dirty laundry" another may see as perfectly harmless. What one person considers harmless may cause pain for another.

A message to all bloggers:

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Heb. 10:24
