I feel a personal indebtedness to God to honor this verse with my true effort. God wants us to speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine. This means so much more than telling people what the Bible says or even what we know of God's personality or even what we know of the miracles that God has done. God wants us to carry ourselves and to communicate in such a way that nothing we say or do detracts or distracts from the truth, from the whole body of truth that God has bestowed to the church by His Holy Spirit, by His word, by His presence with us in all things, by giving us the keys to the kingdom and the promise that we wil lnot be overcome by the gates of hell. The bottom line is how you carry yourself and the messages you deliver will create a stage and a spotlight for the doctrine of the Lord. So it should be. Some things we might say might not be beneficial. Some things we might do might distract from the truth that God has delivered. It's time we got busy making sure our lives are a reflection of the love of the Lord and his desire to have relationship with us.
