As Christians, Church going people, our Life should be set apart from the lifestyles of the lost people around us. We are in the world, but we are not of the world. When do and say the same things as the lost how can our light shine and our lives be a testimony for Jesus. For instance , you are at work and you tell an off colored dirty joke and all the people around are laughing, now when they stop laughing witness to them about Jesus and invite them to your church. If they come it is because they think that church doesn't care about striving to live a life pleasing to Jesus. Hey if this is you and you are professing to be a Born again Spirit Filled Christian, Go tell your jokes and stories to your Church buddies and see how many laughs you get with them.
Would Jesus be pleased with your actions?
1 So imitate God. Follow Him like adored children,
2 and live in love as the Anointed One loved you—so much that He gave Himself as a fragrant sacrifice, pleasing God.
3 Listen, don’t let any kind of immorality be breathed among you. Any demoralizing behaviors (perverse sexual acts, uncleanliness, greediness, and the like) are inappropriate topics of conversation for those set apart as God’s people.
4 Don’t swear or spurt nonsense. Don’t make harsh jokes or clown around. Make proper use of your words, and offer them thankfully in praise.
5 This is what we know for certain: no one who engages in loose sex, impure actions, and greed—which is just a form of idolatry—has any inheritance in the kingdom of God and His Anointed.
Ephesians 5: 1-5 The Voice Bible.
