After reading a few blogs of a friend of mine i was forced to think about a lot that was written and so this first one is dedicated to him.....we know each other well but we still kinda don't know each...because people rarely, truly open up but he knows who he is and he also knows that i have a habit of disagreeing with him.....so here it goes
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
I love ephesians....it speaks to me even in 2009....is this is a hard scripture to live by? OMG most definitely. I feel that the things that we deem okay aren't really....you stated in your blog that you like to check(and yes it may be funny and i do admit that we have gotten into a sparring match here and there...lol) but checking is corrupt communication....is it not?
We shouldn't talk about each others mothers, shoes, and clothes even though it may be funny because GOD is going to hold us accountable because i know that we have all read ephesians 4:29(mainly because it is in the blog...lol)
I am not doing this to point the finger but rather to bring into the light that we shouldn't really judge people for cursing(and i do at times....no shame cause thats me) when our communication is not perfect
and i do feel you thats what you recieved from your bible....so in reponse i say this...ding deeper and challenge yourself...by the bible's standards and you'll be ok but remember to put every scripture to use in all aspects of your life and not just the ones we know we can give up....i guess thats why we have to die to ourselves(flesh) daily.
I guess in a way we as christians have to learn how to commit suicide : )
so to all my believers, even the struggling ones like me, KYS(kill yourself)
Much LOVE
