       Of course, this will likely be something that changes over time because when we first become saved, we might not be that strict. Or, on the other hand, we might become too strict. It can go to either extreme. But hopefully, eventually, we find that balance. It is as Paul said to the Ephesians, “Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:8-10, ESV). It seems that “giving thanks” as Paul mentions is a good accountability test for us. What is meant is that when saying or doing something, or after speaking it or doing it, is it something that we can then thank God for? If so, then that ‘thing’ we are speaking or doing is good. If it’s not, then something is wrong. If we can’t thank God for a specific relationship in our lives, in spending time talking with that person, then something isn’t right.
