Using Four Letter Words

Using Four Letter Words

We have a culture that is truly lacking in good morals and integrity. One of the things that bothers me is meeting people who use little 4 letter words that are vulgar and demeaning.

You can rarely watch television without hearing something inappropriate. We best turn off the TV when this comes up and be careful with whom we associate. Reaching a person for the Lord may take putting up with some bad language, but after a point, it is best to separate yourself from people who use bad language.

Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

Rom 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Php 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

If you are living close to the Lord and know he is righteous and can not stand sin, it is difficult to be around people with this habit. Why it has become stylish or becoming is beyond me. Perhaps the person using filthy or vulgar words makes them feel adult. Psychologists say people who use vulgar 4 letter words are a mark of being insecure.

They are in reality immature people who can not communicate and express themselves. By getting other people’s attention with their childish habit, they think they are making a name for themselves. They may be, but it is not a good name.

Being Adult means we can live right in an evil world. Zig Ziglar has said that adult language ties to real things like Honesty, Responsibility, Optimism, Discipline, and Commitment.

Be a person who knows what is right and be Decisive, Dedicated, Competent, Dependable and Consistent.

So if you are prone to use 4 letter words, I urge you to consider a list of 4 letter words I have accumulated from books and the bible.

· HOPE

· CARE

· LOVE

· GOOD

· JUST

· TRUE

· WARM

· FREE

· ABLE

· KIND

· NICE

· WISE

· HELP

So be sure if you think on words, make them good words. This is much like my last devotional on the things God wants us to think on in Philippians Chapter 4. What we have to do is daily renew our minds to think on the good things that all come from God. Don’t be conformed to this old world.

Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
