Avoiding godless, foolish talk



"Avoid godless, foolish talk that leads to more and more ungodliness." 

                                              - 1 Timothy 2:16



avoid - To stay clear of; to refrain from

godless - Not recognizing God
 
foolish - Lacking good sense or judgment; unwise

ungodliness - wickedness; sinful 



This [ungodliness] of course, would include:
 

Gossiping

Speaking bad of others  
     
Speaking bad to others  

Edifying and building others up

Speaking when angry [without thinking first]



Things we should be speaking


Praises to [and about] God

Witnessing about God and his goodness


As a Proverbs 31 woman - our speech should always be wise and kind.


Proverbs 31:26 says "She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness."
