You Are What You Speak!

I've seen some of those youth's blog site. It really is no surprise when they can blurt out those four letter words with great ease. Every sentence is peppered with words to maim and shock the reader. It's like stepping onto mine field.

What's this? blogging to outdo somebody else with colourful words, to stumble and kill? It really is scary to learn that young people are putting something on the internet to boost their ego and make them stand out from the rest. Competition to see who can spew out more dangerous looking words? Whatever happened to the discipline of mind and thoughts? It's even worst to hear them say that it is part of their youth culture to think and behave like this. I guess they haven't heard of soap in the mouth treatment before.

What can we do about it? Well, for one, I will not patronise their blogs. The thoughts that are translated to actions can be very real for such young minds. The Bible says in Proverbs 15:4, "A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but perversion in it crushes the spirit." Yes, you are what you speak. What spews from your mouth is a combination of thoughts and actions in your life. You need Jesus to do a thorough clean-up. Young people, do it now before it crushes your spirit. Let no unwholesome thoughts and words be even associated with your fragile mind. Get it out before it's too late.

So, clean up your thoughts and be filled with what 2 Timothy 2:22 says, to call out to young people to "flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart."
