A cause which has a strong tendency to destroy pious seriousness, and which almost always prevents its formation and growth in young minds, is levity in conversation upon subjects connected with religion. (Paley)
I have found this quote to be very true. Since we are surrounded by such a frivolous society and we are often led astray by our own imaginations, I find that it is often difficult to maintain a consistently serious conversion on Biblical matters. But, when such a conversation does occur, it is almost always tremendously refreshing and encouraging, and leaves me with much more joy than some light-hearted jokes, etc.
