Oh you bring...

it's a song by hillsong united...and it's really good...

and i guess as i'm listenting to it now i'm thinking about all the stuff God does for us...


like there are so many people that God is changing and it is amazing...like it's sooooo coool to see people my age and younger stand up for Christ...and just hearing the testimonies from those people is amazing...

ok so now for the thing that's been on my heart lately...


it's the issue of swearing...i don't know why it's been placed on my heart...but it has been...so i'm gunna talk about it...


ok so i was thinking about the issue of swearing cause i read somthing and it got my mind running and then there are always people at work who swear and then apologize for it...

and that get's me stuck sometimes...cause i don't know whether to say "i forgive you" and make them feel like i'm judging them and i don't want to say "it's ok" cause i don't want them to feel like it really is ok....

but Sunday night Matt read from Ephesians

and i read Ephesians 4:29
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen."


basically this is the closest verse to "do not swear" in the Bible...but we can't just look at it as "don't cuss" cause it says more than that, it says "Do not let ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS"....and that got me thinking...

who am i to say what words are "good" and what words are "bad"...for example...

i don't swear...or at least by normal people's standards...but there are words i don't say infront of small children or people i respect highly

words like "douche" or "fag" or "hoe" etc...so i guess in a way i'm no better than the people who say "bad four-letter words"....so i can't really call someone out on that

i mean i would look like an idiot if i said "don't say bad words, douche"...

so i guess i have alot to work on...even in areas that it doesn't seem like i'm struggling but that's the cool thing about God, He's making me more like Him and less like the carnal man that i am
