monday's sermon!:

Words...do they really make any difference?

It disturbs me when I read some of the blogs postered by Christian youths to find bits of profanity scattered throughout. If any one of us is to come across such blogs we should do our best to correct our fellow BASIC* that it is not proper to do such a thing. (*BASIC = Brothers and Sisters in Christ)

Think along with me on this. Is it really cool to use for example the "F" word even though we have it creatively spelt differently so as to put a guise to it? Come on, who are we trying to fool?Jesus says, just by our very thoughts, we can commit adultery (Matthew 5:28) so how much more our words? How can we from the same mouth say we are a Christian, wanting to praise God and then another moment, use words that brings no glory to God?

James 3:3-13 is very clear about Christians living a life of controversy. It seems that we no longer want to practice what Jesus taught but prefer to practice what we rather have preached instead.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world, profanity or loose words are really no big deal, after all words are just words as they can't actually break any physical bones. “Hai ya, why get so worked up, after all it is only words...so what?!? What is the big deal? Why kick such a big fuss? You Christians are so petty and narrow-minded. This also cannot, that also cannot.”

Yet do you know to Jesus, our careless words hurt Him because one day we will be judged by it (Matthew 12:36-37) and I know God does not enjoy punishing us because John 3:16 tells us very clearly how much He loves us and wants us to return to Him.
If you study what is going on around us, you will very quickly discover that the world today challenges the teachings of Jesus more so than any other time by telling us that what matters today is our individual rights, our individuality, our choices, our preferences, who we want to be, etc., these are the things that truly matter in life.

While it is true we should be who we are and not try to be someone else or not let anyone try change us...we need to know where to draw the line, we need to know whom we should model our lives after and we need to know what is proper and what is not. In case you have not noticed, the middle letter of "sin" is ‘I’ and that clues us to where it all begins.

The word “sin” does not refer only to hideous crimes, it also means to miss the mark. We will miss the mark if we put the focus of life on ourselves, on the desires and wants of the human flesh and not on God. Sin then is anything that pulls us away from God, yes…our words alone can separate us from God. (Please visit Matthew 12:36-37 again)

In order for us to survive in this world and truly enjoy being a Christian, we need to understand that the Christian faith is not all about a set of rules that boils down to a list of “do’s” and “don’ts”. If you see the Christian faith this way, then you have failed to understand what being a Christian is all about.

The Bible is not a discipline book where God uses to find fault with us. The Bible is God’s living Word to guide, comfort and encourage us. The Bible not only reveals the Father’s heart it also contains pearls of wisdom that would help us live a life that returns us to the original intent of Creation and that is to be in the presence of God.

Do we need to watch our words? Yes, please do…after all, our words, what we say, either verbally, through emails, SMSes, tagging or in a blog, etc., they all reflect our inner thoughts which in turn reveals to the rest of the world who we truly are, in other words, the true nature and condition of our heart.

And I don't think we are glorifying God if we go around claiming to be a Christian when our words reflect nothing of Christ.

So let us get our lives right with God, let us return to the Lord with the simple act of minding our words and let that be our worship unto Him.

Amen.
