I got something to say

Christians and Cusers

 Well, I would like to talk about something that maybe you won't agree with right of the bat, but please hear me out.  I love Jesus and trust him as my Savior.  But in this world there are people who don't!  I have been churched and unchurched now.  Churched goes like this "well I was at work and and Big John came in and was cusing and I just asked him to stop because I didn't like to hear it."  Or, " Yeah, the guys at work used to cuse around me but now if they cuse they apologize and they try not to."   In the churched circle this seems like this person is really a good witness for Christ, right.  Well I have a problem with this.  We are sending the message that people that don't believe what we believe or the ones that aren't ready to come back to Christ aren't loved unconditionaly by the one who says  Jesus loves unconditionaly.  The same christian will evenually do something that is not absolutely perfect and at that time the cuser is not impressed by your not cusing and him feeling sorry.  How dare we think that making someone else feel sorry around us for there imperfection while we think we are really something else. 

The unchurched, Love them just the way they are because the only differance between you and them, you accept the love that Jesus showed you when you HATED him and they just have not seen it yet.

This is just the tip of the iceburg.  If we have this mentality in our christian walk we will not gain the trust and friendship of lost people. 

God Bless,

Jason

My 2 cents

I was once at a church where a new Christian cussed in the middle of their testimony. There were a few raised eyebrows but no one rebuked this person. Quite a few months later, the same person gave testimony again about how God was working and changing their life and how He was helping them stop their past addictions- including cussing. They told the church family how thankful they were that they weren't looked down on or rebuked for the cussing in their testimony- instead they were accepted and loved. This person said that this was defining moment in their Christian walk.
We must be careful to remember that what we do and say as Christians not only defines our Walk with Christ but that we may be the only Christ someone else sees. A few slips of the tongue can/should be excused but I do drawn the line at the repetative use of cuss words in front of children. I must admit that if a person peppers every sentence with these "adjectives" I tend to start wincing!
Enjoyed the post.

Thank you for your comments. In God's eyes, there are not degrees of sin - sin is sin, no matter what.
So how can I judge another, when I am guilty every day.
I am so thankful that God loves me just the way I am, sin and all - but He loves me enough to not leave me just the way I am. Every day He points out the sin in my life and encourages me to give it to Him.
