“But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.” Should foolish talking be in the same category with fornication? According to Paul, neither should be once named among Christians. These type of lists in scripture often surprise us. They name what we would consider horrible sins, right along side actions we consider minor. No sin is minor, in fact it is likely the sins we have overlooked that are doing the most damage. The typical believer goes an entire lifetime without getting involved in gross sin. Still, that same average believer may have had a life-long poor witness, because he involved himself in many “well accepted” sins. They include the two mentioned here; foolish talking, and jesting, which refer to a careless way of speaking that focuses on worldly and ungodly things. Let’s be careful not to overlook any sin in our lives, no matter how common it may be.
