No bad words !

2 Timothy 3.2 - For men will be... blasphemers.

In the Greek, the word “blasphemers” does not only have the connotation of insulting what is sacred but also of denigrating, insulting, speaking badly against, using slanderous language about God but also about people. men.

Offensive and filthy words, swearing, insults are commonplace today. It seems that some are unable to line up two sentences in the following without slipping in one of those blasphemous words. Did you know that often dirty talk in someone's mouth is a sign that there is a demonic problem ? However, this kind of language saddens the Holy Spirit (compare Ephesians 4:30 and 5:4) ! Often the first sign of a sincere conversion is precisely a big change in the way of expressing oneself.

More common among children of God, it is the habit of speaking badly against so-and-so. There is so much backbiting in the house of God. Backbiting is a real cancer that deeply hinders the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Jacques was so clear on this subject, I invite you to reread chapter 3 of his epistle. In verse 10 he says in substance : “Out of the same mouth go forth blessing and curse. It is not necessary, my brethren, that it be so" (James 3:10).

We must take this warning seriously. Our words can condemn us (Matthew 12:37) ! There will be accountability for every bad word, every word of curse, every word inspired by the desire to harm... that we have spoken !

My beloved, let us clean our mouths, ask God to put a guard there (Psalms 141.3), let us know how to humble ourselves for all the times when we have spoken badly against someone and let us never again be an ear for this kind of thing. about.

Good reflection.
