We don’t always know the facts behind what we see or hear and form wrong conclusions. Snap judgments are sometimes easily made. Thoughtless comments and worthless language unbecoming to a believer can cause others to falter. Retaliating words want to slip from our lips. Paul wrote: “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” (Ephesians 4:29). The word corrupt means “contaminating, bad, offensive.” Comments, attitudes, and actions are influential. Do you “minister grace” to others? Is your conversation acceptable—drawing them to Jesus or drive them away?
