I...Thank you all so much for your comments, ladies. I don't expect us to be perfect and there will certainly be moments in time where we say something we wished we hadn't --- but it's the "trend" of being edgy and using slang (and sometimes profanity) that bothers me such a great deal. <br /><br />May we all try to remember who we represent.Dionnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915895529974670130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810816.post-23851135038887668812012-10-26T15:20:44.532-06:002012-10-26T15:20:44.532-06:00Well said, Dionna! I will not swear to be trendy. ...Well said, Dionna! I will not swear to be trendy. Nor would I swear to impress anyone. I wish I could say I have never sworn at all, but I would be untrue. When I do slip up, to my shame, I confess and ask God to help me take every word , thought and attitude into his filter of grace, truth, love and purity. We know that out of the mouth come words that reveal the inner man. My hope and desire is that the inner and outer are in harmony as He wills. Great post.

Some...I too struggle with accepting this new trend. Some say, "your too religious" or they don't really care what anyone thinks. I see many bloggers who are christian who to me seem to say "I say "these words" and there is nothing anyone can do about it. And they bring up Jesus' anger at the temple, calling pharisees brood of vipers or they say oh its just words lighten up. <br />I still say what is in our hearts will come out of our mouths and to me swearing is prideful and to me it shows you have a hard heart. Does it make it ok because you are not saying it out of anger? I personally don't think so. <br />And i just don't get it, i've been trying to figure it out. <br />But the path is narrow and you should not be luke warm. so…<br />still trying to figure it out… thanks for this post Dionna :)<br /><br />It brought up this post i read recently.<br /><br />http://deeperstory.com/in-defense-of-the-4-letter-word/jimmie leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131137358837335901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810816.post-14651178699617746442012-10-26T12:53:13.215-06:002012-10-26T12:53:13.215-06:00I just have to say that I really like that picture...I just have to say that I really like that picture. ;)<br />I agree and as Shari said, it is especially offensive and surprising when believers use the Lord's name in vain! We are specifically commanded not to do that, just because our culture uses it ALL of the time does not ever make it ok.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116955163456716401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810816.post-18728628333862513952012-10-26T12:51:25.591-06:002012-10-26T12:51:25.591-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468105242434296483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810816.post-66240131533888428632012-10-26T11:45:19.577-06:002012-10-26T11:45:19.577-06:00I loved this.

That just makes me cringe. Great post!<br /><br />Blessings~<br />ShariSharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730656704284762754noreply@blogger.com
