"Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." - Ephesians 4:29
Recently in a Bible study, someone passed along this challenge first heard from a group of Christian friends: starting first thing in the morning, see how far they could get through the day before some unwholesome talk came out of their mouths. (That included drive time and whatever they might say to or about other drivers while driving.) In the original challenge, they were reporting back to their group for accountability, humility, fellowship, and possibly some laughter at their own human frailty.
That was too good a challenge to ignore, so I have taken up the challenge when I recall it, and wanted to pass it along to those who are striving to be more Christlike.
