These days, we have more ways to communicate than ever before. We can talk on the cell phone, leave a voice mail message, send an email, chat on the internet, send an instant message, or even give instant updates on Twitter. But with so many ways to say it, do people really have more things of substance to say?
In Colossians 4:6, in speaking about how believers should carry themselves around others, especially strangers, Paul instructs, “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Sometimes we should stop and ask ourselves if our conversation with others—even our friends—is seasoned with salt. Or is it peppered with unholy talk, such as gossip, lies, and discouragement?
With so many communication options in front of us, people of God, let’s remember to use them to His advantage:
• Send an uplifting email to a friend that you’re praying for
• Text message a distant family member just to let them know you love them
• Share your favorite Bible verse, or verse of the day, with your Facebook friends
• Discover a new way to spread the Word of God with today’s technology
And don’t forget—you always have instant access to the greatest Communicator of all, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He’s always looking forward to hearing from you!
