I’m reading the @YouVersion plan ‘UNCOMMEN: Uncommen Words Of Husbands, Dads, & Leaders’. Check it out here:http://bible.com/r/19H
Day 1 – Uncommen Words
By God’s grace — by the way I was made, and through the experiences I’ve been allowed to go through — I’m mostly kind in my words and thoughts to and about other people. That’s not to say that I don’t have the occasional complaints or criticisms (those seem to happen more often as I age), but I don’t think I have ever gone as far as cursing people.
My problem — and God has convicted me of this many times — is not the Sin of Commission, but the Sin of Omission. I could be blessing others more often, I could be pointing people to Christ more often. Is this the same as cursing them? Maybe not, but I do know that in James it also says that if you know the good you ought to do and you don’t do it, that is considered as sin.
My words, whether spoken or written, are an outpouring of what’s on my heart and mind. The root of the problem is there.
That’s the one, main, thing that God is saying to me.
