Caveat: talking like a Christian does not make one a Christian. Nevertheless, as Christians, we are meant to be a light to the world (Matthew 5:16). Our speech is meant to be graceful and seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6). Hopefully, the 10 suggestions above can help us to make some slight adjustment to our speech, so that we can give God the glory in our everyday conversation!
