Put Aside Bad Habits

But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. - Colossians 3:8

Have you ever been hanging out with your friends and behanded in a way that wasn't godly? I remember one time I said something bad about another person in front of my friends just to get them to laugh. It's really easy to let your flesh rule and behave in ungodly ways. 

It takes work to get rid of those bad habits, and dirty language. But if God told us in the Bible to do it, then it's something that we can do. It's going to take some work and you're not going to be perfect at it all the time, but with some effort, you can overcome habits of anger, slander, and dirty language.
