What I see at school
After winter break today we went to school, don't get me wrong it was very exhausting and I barely slept. So as I went to school I thought about how Christians live their lives outside of church. From what I am seeing from my school, I see Christians living a life where they are all holy at church and very different at school. Do you agree? Well, I'm sure we all did this at some part of our faith and were very two faced kind of if you know what I mean. For example when you go to church people hold in their swear words because they don't want other people to hear it & want people thinking that their very holy or something. Now as you see them at school or lets just say outside of church you can see Christians just cussing in like every sentence. How do you think non believers view us if they know that we are believers of God and they see us acting like this? This is one reason why Christians are known for being hypocritical and we can't do anything to except pray for that person as we do not have the powers to control someone. If you can't stop cussing, why not just use a different word and replace it or something? Do you really have to use a cuss word just to get people to listen to you or to look intimidating or something? I think not, that just tells me your weak & the only way you can get peoples attention or get people to listen to you is to cuss without using just words. Even though its pretty hard to do think about what other people view you as when they see you & know that you are a Christian. Think to yourself, do people really see God's love in you? Think about it.

one way to control the habit of "cussing" is to use the number system.
ReplyDeletethe number system is this:
a list of cuss words from least being 1 and most being N
so in a real life situation, you would say, "NUMBER ONE!! I DINT DO HOMEWORK...!!!"
OR in other cases "you are number one!!"
just a little idea i picked up somewhere i guess
but BIG thanks to jeremiah for observing and sharing what he thought!!
Haha good stuff Rich & to the people who say like theres still the intention of cussing, you just have to be patient because after time you'll have no intention of cussing anymore and such :)
ReplyDeletetrue... sometimes i cant control myself from cussing when i get so pissed off xP i should really be careful with what i say... so ashamed of myself x(
ReplyDeleteHaha its okay Ji Hyuk no need to be ashamed! you should be unashamed & ur desire to change is good ! ^^
ReplyDeleteCussing is a worldly thing and if you generally don't listen to the world's way of things anymore, you will start to cuss less.
ReplyDeletepreach! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the last line. Since when did being "holy" or faithful to god become a superficial thing? Since when did swearing mean you're less holy? That you have less faith in god?
ReplyDeleteIt's a really shallow way to JUDGE people's faith.
