This is actually yesterday's post, yesterday there were things more important than blogging - gasp, haha! So today, there will be a post from yesterday and today.
Biblical guidelines for conversation are simple in theory: Is it beneficial? Is it focused on the needs of others? Is it edifying to the listener? If you have any reservations, choose not to speak.
Today, my response to biblical conversation is to be silent as much as I can and think before I speak or communicate. I am one who appreciates a good dose of sarcasm and am not easily offended. However, not everyone is that way...in fact, I might be in the minority. My focus will be on Kingdom mindedness, what is in the best interest of others, speaking truth in love and seeking restoration and redemption One thing I will not apologize for is speaking up for justice, this does not mean I must be rude or abrasive, though sometimes truth does convict. But the main issue is my heart and motivation for speaking...that's when the simple idea becomes a little more complicated. I must guard my heart and my mouth.
