the name of my friend, my Lord and my Savior. And those words that many
people snicker at, are NOT french. It seems as if the American society has
lost its moral conscience and respect for others and even the very young
say things that would make a sailor blush. For the believer, some of them
are just coming out of the world and it is understandable that it may take
a little time before conviction sets in. The problem that I see, is that
many do not know how to discern what is right and wrong. Black and white
have turned into grey. The Bible has many verses that help clarify. *James
3:8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly
poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men,
who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth
proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be
so.* And also, *Ephesians 5:4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor
coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.* There
is power in God and power in the name of Jesus, if not, why not say, oh
Buddha, or oh Hare Krishna. Brethren may our life, language and love for
God, be an example of godliness, holiness and purity at all times. May this
lost world see something different in each of us. Closing thought, what is
in your heart. *Luke 6:45...For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth
speaks.*
