Blah Blah Blah
1 Timothy 1:6 Some have wandered away from these and turn to meaningless talk
Why do people talk about meaningless things that have no lasting point, no edifying purpose? Why do people repeat a point so much, so often that it is like beating a dead horse? Partly because they have turned from some of the important aspects of the faith. A pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith, these are necessary traits that produce love and keep us from so many pointless decisions in our relationship with others. Without these traits we will press our point so much that we kindle strife. This leads to discord and separates members of Christ's body.
A and K, promote love and peace. It is proper to stand against evil and against false teachings, but when promoting what is important to you and your spiritual walk, be careful. When the conversation begins to cause friction, drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. Speaking in love will keep you from becoming an annoying gong causing others to avoid you altogether, then you will never be able to get your point across no matter how valid it might be. If you want to help others, skip the blah blah.
