Choose your words carefully

If you read my last blog, you know that I referenced my hatred of stockings. I contemplated using the other words for stockings. You know. The one that rhymes with AuntieRose, or NannyGoes, and start with the letter P. I just felt sort of funny about using that word, because I didn't know if was Southern Baptist Bloggly correct language. So, as to not offend I used with word stockings, which still might have offended or, also may have left people under 50 thinking, What is she talking about?" But I quite often speak, as well as sometimes blog without thinking, and this time I ws trying to think before speaking and blogging.

The master wordsmith was Jesus in every way. He said important things so cleverly, and told stories that held an audience captive. I read the story of the Pharisees who brough the adulterer before Jesus. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:1-11&version=65 His words caused these hypocrites to leave with nothing to say. Some people believe he may have written their past sins in the sand, but whatever it was, coupled with his powerfully chosen words, foiled their plan.

Do you think before you speak? Do you pray before you confront or debate? I have a habit of reacting, not praying or thinking before I speak. Words are powerful in every way. They can uplift and encourage, and they can kill and destroy. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%203:%205-8;&version=65;

I want to share with you something I came across yesterday. Some of you may have already seen it. It is Tom Cruise speaking on Scientology. He's very passionate, very driven. I think you and I as Christians often don't realize what we're up against. Christ said Matthew 10:34-37"Don't think I've come to make life cozy. I've come to cut—make a sharp knife-cut between son and father, daughter and mother, bride and mother-in-law—cut through these cozy domestic arrangements and free you for God. Well-meaning family members can be your worst enemies. If you prefer father or mother over me, you don't deserve me. If you prefer son or daughter over me, you don't deserve me. Our mistaken feelings that peace is always best have caused prayer to be taken out of school, abortion to be legalized, and you know the list of so many other things.

This is a quote from part of the video "They said: "so, like... have you met an SP?" And I looked at them and... you know... and I thought how a beautiful thing because maybe one day it will be like that. You know what I'm saying? Maybe one day it will be that... "Wow, SPs, like, they'll just read about those in the history books, you know." [...] Thing is I just go through that tech and it's... it's literally... it's not how to run from an SP, it's PTS/SP, how to shatter suppression, confront and shatter suppression, you apply it and it's like "boom!" [...]Because they don't come up to me and do that. They won't do it to me... not in my face, you know, or... or anywhere in my vicinity where they feel they can be... confronted. [...]
