Thanksgiving as Vocabulary Therapy

Ephesians 5: Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
Many people need to "clean up their mouths."   Through the course of any given day, we hear all sorts of bad language, extreme sarcasm, proud talking, and just plain crude and rude conversation.  Such should not be the case in the life of a believer.  Of course, God changes us from the inside out, so the lack of thanksgiving, and the presence of such negative speech, is just a symptom of an inner problem, but "correcting" our speech - choosing Thanksgiving over all other forms of speech - can be part of the process of addressing the inner cause.  What is going to come out of your mouth today?
