Worldly and empty chatter.

[Pamelasv]

What is worldly and empty chatter?

What is worldly and empty chatter? 

That which is spoken that is selfish and self-centered in nature.  It is soiled by the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life.

What is worldly and empty chatter*? 

Perhaps narrow down the goal of the question ?    It is not too hard to show that 

most of the whole world / 'civilization' / mankind/ society /  is constantly overflowing with *it.  (i.e. *it is 'normal' everyday in all media and gatherings and  most worldly families)

What is normal?The setting on a washing machine?

TV commersials.  Buying the latest and best.  Gossip,  fault finding, and most of the things teens and women of the world chat about.  Latest diets, latest trends and all the fads.  I don't know what men consider worldly and empty chatter.

Sports. Politics. Inappropriate jokes. ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT EDIFY.

Dear sister Pamelasv,

 

Grace and mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

·        “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).

 

There is no worse kind of conversation than that which misrepresents the character of Christ:

 

·        “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (Matthew 12.32-37).

 

Each one must speak according to what exists in his heart, especially when it has to do with the character of Christ. True communication is one that adds grace to those who hear it, that is, that leads them to want to be one with Christ in order to be more useful in the lives of the people around them.

But first of all, this has to be real in our life:

 

·        “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” (2Corinthians 4.13).

 

May Jesus bless the words of grace and truth always come out of our mouths.

[Prophet of change Lou L]

Amen! Leonardo von 

James ch.3

3    . ² For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. ³ Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. ⁴ Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. ⁵ So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

 

Oh for pure lips and a tongue ruled by the Spirit!

Ive completely lost the ability to talk like this, I havent for at least 15 years.. Always hated it.. Simply no interest, if not God/spiritual.. Just because its empty, leading nowhere.
