it's true. God does have the power to change our language. I am so grateful that the beautiful presence of Jesus in my life has been transforming my speech from being abusive to being kind; from judgemental to gracious, from hateful words to loving words. This is the power of God in my tongue, not sanitizing my vocabulary as proof of his life in me, but instead he transforms my heart and mind, the way I think and perceive others as well as how I perceive myself. And especially the way that I think and relate to the reality of who God is and what he is like.

This is the power of God's love in my life and language; let's not confuse piety for sanctification.

Jesus sancitifies me with his grace and love. I do not sanctify myself, no matter what naughty words I might censor from my vocab.

Grace, grace, grace...

hey jeff,

just wondering if you had time in your busy schedule of being judgemental of a bunch of people you've never met to convert a misguided soul?

You really know how to shine the light on a bunch of false converts. The God I know not only saves you "from" your sins but "takes" you out of them as well, it's a process called "sanctification". A god who would leave you in your sins and not "change" you is not a very big god. As a born again believer we are ambassadors of Christ, representing Him to the world, I don't believe He would be involved in such. The Bible clearly tells us not to profane (pollute) the name of the Almighty God, by mixing in the worlds sewer with it. Only through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit are we able to "bridle the tongue" Read James chapter 3 and pray for God to change you, He has the power to change your language; I believe there were some people at the tower of Babel that can testify!

Why are people in North America so uncomfortable with the concept of Hell?
