In the world of craziness, today happens to be ‘For Pete’s Sake Day’, which I think is really funny. However, since it is a minced oath and euphemism, it does remind me that we should always be watching and thinking about the way we use the language we have around us.
There is tons of stuff in the Word that covers how we use words, but this seems like a good summary to remember of this particular day.
29 Let no corrupting 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 (ESV)
Let’s use our words for the benefit of those that hear us!
