Grieve Not the Holy Spirit

Paul was clear in his instruction to the Church not to grieve, or sadden, the Holy Spirit with corrupt and foolish speech. We are to minister grace to the hearer and truth as seasoned with salt. Jesus was God's speech in the flesh. He spoke words of salvation, hope, deliverance, and healing. Corrupt talk, sarcasm at the expense of others, and crooked words are offensive to the Holy Spirit. As children of God and disciples of Jesus, we must put a watch on our speech and endeavor to have helpful and constructive encounters with all we meet.
