Thank you Ev.
Hi! I was recently called to the carpet on this in my own life with Christ, and thought, since I saw it being demonstrated here, that I could make a suggestion. That's all!
I just think that we as believers can be much more purposeful in our speaking, and not just fall back on what we are fed via most christian media. We can really question the way we speak, and refresh it if we need to. I live in the 'Bible-Belt' and hear this language all the time around me. We take for granted all the things we already know as Christians, and we give them trite sayings. Like 'applying the blood of Jesus on you as you go'. That is a CRAZY POWERFUL statement! But to a non believer it doesn't mean half of what they think. Instead is it so much worse to say 'I pray that God will show you new aspects of His love today' or 'I hope that you remember today that you are protected by Christ.' or whatever we mean to say when we say such vague statements.
I hope I am being clear, and not offensive. This is a truth I was recently given, and just hoped to share it.
Thanks Ev for being inviting.
