How should I apply Ephesians 5:11 today?

Read the surrounding passage, compare related cross references, and turn the verse into a short prayer and concrete action.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
