Ephesians 4:29-32
29 
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.


Reflection
Over the next three weeks, we will look at three defining characteristics and practices of spiritual friendships. The second is talking. We need to share with one another but our sharing should have a point. Why do you think it is so important to keep our conversations centered in our shared relationship in Christ? Why do you think it is so easy to share about the weather or sports but not to talk about what God is doing in our life?
