There are some things that we just don't need to waste time listening to. Today we can talk about what is worthwhile and what isn't.

Pray to God because without Him you will not tame your tongue. Accept the living water that Christ came to offer, let it well up inside of you, and let your mouth be filled with fresh water.

Christians may find an occasion where satire is useful. It has opened my eyes to error I didn’t even know I believed, but when does satire turn from a tool that Christians can use to sin?

Today we are talking about some things that just don’t have any place in a Christian’s mouth.

We cannot be gossiping Christians; no spring yields both salt water and fresh. Gossiping and Christ are diametrically opposed, so today we talk about how we can know before we speak if what we are about to say is gossip or not.

We may laugh at this idea. Everyone grumbles. We think grumbling is normal, but God says it shouldn’t be!

Christians are allowed to have simple goals, but we make them for different reasons than we used to and we must follow through on them.

Christians are supposed to rely on each other and together our responsibility is to glorify God, to bear fruit for Him. Today we ask, "How do we do that well?"

The key to making disciples is knowing why we want to talk about Jesus. Root yourself in your belief in Christ, grow in that belief, and then you’ll be able to bear fruit.

As Christians we know that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,” yet Christ said: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” What should we do? Should Christians be perfectionists?
