According to Dr.
James H. Bossard,
a former professor
of sociology at the
University of
Pennsylvania who
spent 40 years
probing what he
called neglected
areas of family
life, it is the way
parents talk in front
of their children.
After studying
extensive
recordings of
table talk, he
discovered a real
pattern in the
[mealtime]
conversation of
families.
To his amazement He found that family after family had
definite, consistent conversational habits, and that the
critical pattern was the most prevalent.
Jesus also said, Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaks (Matthew 12:34). If your soul is superficial, egotistical,
and mean, all those qualities are going to permeate your words
as they flow from your lips.
But if the Holy Spirit has control, the words you speak will be
filled with divine light, just as Christ is light (John 1:4; 8:12).
