Day 3: Unwholesome No More


Dale Carnegie's first principle

Don't

CRITICIZE

COMPLAIN

or

CONDEMN.

Oh how a conversation can go sour in a moment when two or more gathered.

CRITICIZING others to make ourselves feel better.

COMPLAINING about others to blame others for our discontent.

CONDEMNING others to take condemnation from ourselves.

Hmm.

The breaking down of others to build us up~

UNWHOLESOME TALK!

But

GOD said,

"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" (Ephesians 4:29).

UNWHOLESOME TALK~

Destructive, Damaging Talk

about others to others

&

about "your" self to yourself.

Yup

Yourself!

The weight of UNWHOLESOME TALK about yourself.

I am not _________.

I can't __________.

I will never ___________.

Talk that does not build yourself up, but breaks you down~

UNWHOLESOME TALK.

How do you talk about yourself?

How do you talk to yourself?

What WORDS are swirling in your head?

But if GOD does not speak UNWHOLESOME WORDS

to break us down,

why do we?

What if you replaced your talk with HIS TALK~

I have been chosen by GOD and adopted as HIS child.

I am forgiven by the grace of CHRIST.

I am free from condemnation.

Therefore,

let's

lose another pound that weighs us down by

FASTING

from any

UNWHOLESOME TALK

about yourself & others

by exchanging every UNWHOLESOME TALK with the WORDS of

the WHOLESOME ONE

Who changes all your

"I am nots"

"I can'ts"

"I will nevers"

to

I am

I can

I will

because

HIS "WORDS" (listen to the song below)

say so!
