Christian Speech: Colossians 4:2-6
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2026 3:06 pm
I think it might be helpful to look at some passages on how Christians should speak, one at a time, in separate threads. Some requests for this thread:
1. No more than 2 posts per person per day. Let's leave room for more than one person to speak. I will also limit my participation to no more than 2 posts per day.
2. Focus on what the text teaches us.
3. To start with, focus on just this text. I may open it up to other texts later, but let's spend some time looking at this one first.
Here's the text - what do we learn from it?

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
