Introduction. When we break a glass in the kitchen or bathroom, we feel a need to pick up even the tiniest pieces. It is not at all unusual to see someone pick up large pieces, sweep up smaller pieces, vacuum up tiny pieces and then even mop the floor to get anything left behind. This is not excessive since we are often barefoot and don’t want a sliver of glass in our foot. No one scoffs at such caution, but considers such wisdom to be admirable.
God's Warnings. God has warned we need to do the same things with thoughts, words, and deeds since we will all “receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” This includes “every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned,” and a need to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2Cor. 5:10; Mt. 12:36-37; 2Cor. 10:5).
