Three
Keys to Developing Healthy Talk
“We
are called to be imitators of God.”
-
Understand
WHO
you are (4:20-24)
•You
are a child of light; a
child of God (5:8-9)
2. Be careful HOW you live
(5:15-16)
“Garbage
in, garbage out.”
“But
what comes out of the mouth gets its start in
the heart.
It’s from the heart that we vomit up
evil arguments, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, lies, and cursing.
That’s what pollutes.”
(The
Message)
3. Be
filled with God’s Spirit not YOURSELF!
