“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”                                                                                                                                           (Matthew 12)

 

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.”  The previous sentence, Reader, is a lie.  There may have been good intent behing the lie but a lie none the less.  In this temporal world words DO hurt and they are meant to hurt. At the judgment seat, the reprobated humans will have their words used as evidence against them. This evidence will do more than break bones but it will send souls and their unredeemed bodies to hell.

Words like Just, Small, Little, Whatever can be weaponized. “A little prayer.”  “your small church.”  “Just sayin’,”  “WHat EVar”  The word just is short or is being used instead of “I’m Justifying myself with this fallacy.”  When a pastor speaks to a church-goer (I use church-goer on purpose, instead of Christ-ian) about their Biblical ignorance or illiteracy or unBiblical view, and they respond with, “I don’t know, Pastor, I just love Jesus,” This means “Shut up and go away preacher man, i know what i know, i know what i’ve been taught or told, and I am fine.” Or the illiterate might mean, “I have no idea about what is really in this Book, I’m just going by what I have been told, it is too troublesome to actually read the text itself, myself, and Hey! What am I paying you for anyway, I pay you to spoon feed me my ritualist weekly performance and show at this place, so shut up and get to work.”

The Biblically illiterate justify their ignorance an flat out laziness and despisement of God and God’s Word by saying,  “I just Luv Jesus.”  If asked, “How does Christ’s death and Ressurection really benefit you, I mean how does it all work?”  The illiterate will reply, ” Oh, Pastor, I don’t know all of that, but I do just love my Jesus.”  In other words, “Preacher, preacher, preacher,  I have made my Jesus into my image, the Jesus I worship is a whited wall upon which I paint unBiblical ideas of Christ.”  Reader, This will not do….

Reader, the above is unacceptible: We that love, not “just love” but we, who are loved by Him and do love Him, WANT to Think upon Him always, Speak with Him unceasingly, walk with Him perpetually, and to read His Word as meat and drink (That the world knows nothing of) for our spirit. This is what a Christ-ian does.

“Say a little prayer.” My goodness, this is an insult brought up from Hell! I am starting to observe a pattern among Christ-ian leaders and talk show hosts.  They are saying, it keeps coming up, …”How to get your prayers heard in Heaven.” This fallacy may sound good to itching ears, but it is blasphemy and I invoke that word properly and with purpose.

To make the statement, “How to get your prayers heard in Heaven,” is to imply that God is not listening or hearing prayers. Again that is blasphemy and so very unScriptural. Those ideas are an intended attack upon God’s Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Omniscience. The answering to prayer is under God’s sovereign will, of course, but to imply that God does not hear every prayer, that the Holy Spirit brings Him, is dangerous. David knows better, “…[T]hou understandeth my thought afar off.”  Our Lord says, “...for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask [H]im.”   And Paul gives us this:  “Now unto [H]im that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ASK or THINK, according to the power that worketh in us…”

Your small church: The person that says this is insulting the minister to whom they are  speak to, and it is usually the women that use those words. I observe and do not make things up, ladies. “Your small church,”  Let us look at each of the words used in this insult.  “Your,”  as in God is not in it or it would be bigger if God was in it. This is world, business, capitalistic thinking or in other words “worldlygroupthink.”  These people are in 1984 and do not understand .33 A.D. The “Small-ish” church is a beacon of light that still stands as the remnant God speaks to. The small church can be compared to a islamic terrorist cell. One (1) is of light, life, and logic and the other is of darkness, death, and hatred. One should praise God that we were born as Americans and are chosen by Him to become Christ-like and not born into a death and hate trap-ville. There is never a time when God should not be thanked and praised…never a time. In your wost circumstances, Thankfulness and praise is the Soup of the day.

Whatever is equal to the versatile german word for “To Strike,” or “to make a person angry.” You can do the research yourself, if you want to. “Whatever” encapsulates most cursing words or swearing words.

Why do words matter? Words matter because they are the way we express ourselves.  Words are important because God will use them to judge the wicked, the lost, the unredeemed, the workers of iniquity, the reprobate, the made to be destroyed to Glorify God by their eternal damnation, the unsaved, the unloved but hated by God, the I never knew you rebels. AND…….

….The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.  And His Name is written upon His thigh, “The Word of God.”

In summary, Watch your words, they can be weaponized and murderous to reputations. The tongue, James says, is a fire. Solomon said, a fool is thought wise when silent. So keep your heart full of Christ, keep your mouth closed, and look persons dead in their eyes or between the eyes or the forehead or bridge of the nose, (you will feel no awkardness but they will) it is a drill into a person’s soul, look at then between their eyes and they think you are staring into their eyes and soul.

Godspeed.
