《每日经历神》：五月二十九日

　　标 题：每句闲话

　　经 节：我又告诉你们，凡人所说的闲话，当审判的日子，必要句句供出来。（马太福音十二章36节）

　　耶稣坦率地告诉我们说闲话的后果，但祂的警告常被忽视。耶稣说，每句闲话在审判的日子，句句都要供出来。我们一点也不讶异耶稣指责亵渎神或污秽的言语，然而，讲几句闲话又有什么关系呢？闲话是未考虑对他人有否影响的情况下，不小心说出的话。我们太快下定语，以为口舌的罪是微小、无关紧要的罪，神也不在乎这种罪。但耶稣完全了解话语的破坏性，口中的闲话可以显示内心真正的状态（马太福音十五：17～20）。

　　仔细想想自己口中吐出的言语。基督徒应该说一些造就人、叫人听见得益处的话（以弗所书四：29）。你是否需要少说点话？在说那些自认为好笑的笑话时，是否应该更小心？求圣灵帮助你评估何为造就人、何为伤害人或中伤人的话。

　　Every Careless Word

　　"But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment." (Matthew 12:36)

　　Jesus spoke plainly about our idle words, yet His warning often goes unheeded. Jesus said that for every idle word there will be a time of accounting in the day of judgment. We would expect Jesus to condemn profane and vile uses of the tongue, but idle words? Idle words are things we say carelessly, without concern for their impact on others. We too quickly assume that the sins of our tongue are minor sins, sins that God will overlook. Yet Jesus was fully aware of the devastating nature of our words, for the idle words that come from our mouths give a lucid picture of the condition of our heart_(Matt. 15:17–20).

　　The Book of Proverbs encourages us to speak less rather than risk saying something offensive (Prov. 17:28). Often when we have nothing significant to say we are tempted to speak injurious, idle words. The more time we spend in idle chatter, the greater the likelihood that we will say things that are harmful. James cautioned believers to be “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19). We are in much less danger of saying something offensive when we are listening than when we are speaking!

　　Think carefully about the words that come from your mouth. Christians should speak only words that uplift and bring grace to others (Eph. 4:29). Do you need to speak less? Do you need to be more careful about the kind of humor you use? Ask the Holy Spirit to help you evaluate whether your words build up others or whether they destroy and hurt others.
