i'm no saint, but it's stuff like what's in this thread that keeps me in my garage and my backyard on the weekends.
it's frustrating dealing w/ppl who have no consideration for the people and kids around them. sorry just venting a bit...

Exactly. Every one of us is a hypocrite, and there is no arguing that at all. That's just another word for "sinner". We all do things sometimes that we know are wrong and that we don't want to do. There isn't a person alive that could look anybody in the eye and honestly say that isn't true about him/her. That's what is so cool about God's grace. If our righteousness was dependent on our own goodness, then none of us would have any hope whatsoever. Some people might APPEAR to be a little less sinful than others, but not even Mother Teresa was good enough to deserve Heaven on her own merit. The comparison game that we like to play with each other, comparing our relative goodness to people that seem less good than us is a complete waste of time. We're all messed up in all kinds of ways, and none of us will ever be perfect. Again, thank God for his grace!

And, yes, lots of really intelligent people cuss too. It's not a true indicator of the level of a person's intelligence. But our tongues are windows to our hearts. I can always tell when I've got a heart problem because my tongue starts having problems. It doesn't make me any less valuable in God's eyes. It is a very accurate indicator to me that I've got something going on that needs attention. It's not the disease. It's a symptom. I don't know if it works that way for everybody, but it sure does for me.

great post shane.


I will say I have been around alot of very intelligent word smiths over the years. Intellgence has nothing to do w/ it. I don't know how intelligent I am, but I have battled using profanity for some time. I was lucky enough to take a job where I had a couple of very good role models/mentors to work with. I soon learned from observing them that my use of profanity was complete turnoff. Both men liked me, but I noticed when I would use a bad word how quickly their demeanor would change. Neither ever said anything to me or tried to correct me I just noticed that using that languaged bothered them. I begain cutting out those words as best I could. About the same time I decided to start going to church again and improving my relationship w/ Christ. I soon met my wife, got married and started having kids. Nothing in life will change your life for the better quicker than a close relationship w/ Christ and the realization of how my sin affects my family. I fall short daily, but I try everyday to be a better father, husband, and christian Man. If my case that meant controling my tongue and I am not just refering to profanity. I do not want to judge others or tell them how to live. God placed me here to love my nieghbor not judge them. It does bother me when people use bad language in front of my kids, but I realize most of them just are not mindful of what they are doing. I was the same way not to long ago. I am not niave enough to think my kids won't hear those words sooner or later( sadly it might be from me) , but I don't want them to think its ok or cool to use those words. I am still a work in progress.

Romans 7 14-25

14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.

Best post on the thread, Brannon.

Nothing has ever made me more conscious of my actions and my example than becoming a dad. Kids WILL be little reflections of their parents - whether you like it or not. You will see all of your flaws and all of your wife's good points in your kids. It's extremely humbling and scary when you think about it. What a huge responsibility.
