Ephesians 4:29-32

One of the major killers of a community is Gossip. Paul instructs us to make sure that what comes out of our mouths is not something that will tear others down. We are instead instructed to lift them up according to their needs and speak in a way that will benefit those who listen. We are instructed not to grieve the Holy Spirit and by getting rid of any rage, anger, slander, or any form of malice. We are called instead to express the kindness, compassion, and forgiveness we see in Christ.
