— Ephesians 5:4 —
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

The picture above was from my Husband's 30th birthday party a couple years ago. We had a most wonderful time, but its a reminder about joking and crude talk. Not all of our friends and family believe in our faith or value system. It has been hard at times to stand apart and hold our ground, without being swept away with the joking and bad language. This verse is a wonderful reminder that we need to be set apart and cautious of what we say and do as we are lights in a fallen world!
Ohhh yes, this is a difficult one for many people! It's so easy to get carried away in an inappropriate conversation. Thanks for posting this!! Happy WFW
ReplyDeleteOh, I know it is hard to endure that. May you be a shining light to them. And I pray God convicts them of their language in front of you.
ReplyDeleteGreat verse we must always keep that light burning because we may be the only light friends or family see.
