CORRUPT
COMMUNICATION!
Eph 4:29
29 Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
The White House
Press briefing room,
along with that mysterious room behind it, now resembles a school yard brawl
with dares, double dog, and triple dog dares all around. Disparaging remarks
about mothers and all other things sacred hang in the air with each questioning
the other’s veracity. But … that’s politics.
What Paul urged
the Ephesians to consider was the product of their words. The word “corrupt”
is the Greek word sapros and means “rotten; worthless literally or morally.” The
product of such communication is confusion, pain, anger and inefficiency.
According to one commentary: “logos sapros signifies a useless,
putrid, unsavory, and obscene word or conversation.” The Ephesian believers
were to communicate at a level far above that. The word edify means to build up
and not to tear down.
Col 4:6
6 Let your speech
be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to
answer every man.
Dear
Lord, let my words be sweet because I may one day have to eat them. AMEN
