2 Timothy 2:16 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

Godless Chatter is sin. What is “Godless Chatter”? Avoiding godless chatter is avoiding all conversation that is not glorifying to God. I am convicted that the place that the most “Godless Chatter” enters my life is through gossip. In the moment it is self-satisfying, but at what cost? To hurt someone else? Tear down someone else? Make myself feel better? It’s almost always hurtful and unnecessary.

This weeks verse isn’t just one to tuck away for when I need it, but one that I need to put into action daily, hourly, in EVERY conversation. So if you’re my friend, you can check me on it, my new goal is to actively seek to avoid godless chatter.

I actually ended up painting the insides of my cabinet doors with chalkboard paint so that I could write verses like these on them to remember while I do dishes! For other bible verse printables just head to this link!
