Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:4-6
As I reflect on these verses I find it interesting to note that it is not really concerned with the content of what we say, but more in the way and attitude in which we say it. We communicate the gospel not just in theological points but within gracious speech too. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out.*
