Kids and the f-word, I just don't get.
Church kids and the f-word, I really don't get.
“May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You, LORD,
my rock and my Redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14
And yet these are the same kids that will be quick to point out
Don't Judge Me.
judge (verb): to form an opinion about through
careful weighing of evidence
and testing of premises
What do you think?
Does the use of profanity reflect the heart,
or is it simply a reflection of one's environment?
Can a kid jump up and down in a youth service,
use the f-word in both the written word and speech,
and still keep their testimony and glorify God?
Don't get me wrong.
I know this applies to grown-ups.
I understand how a kid learns that word to begin with.
It just makes me sad.
It disheartens me.
And it makes me write.
I love young people.
I love how they love God.
I love them even when I hear or read those words.
You can really tell me what you think.
Just leave the f-word out of it, please.
And a disclaimer to my mom who will read and worry and wonder, this does not in any way refer to your grandchildren (although we know anything can, and usually does, happen).

It is very disheartening. I have approached beautiful young people with the "you are too beautiful to communicate in that manner" but of course the response: eyes rolled & huff sounds. It is so very sad that they don't realize the message they are sending out about themselves. It's bad from either but it is especially painful to Me to hear/see it from young ladies my heart cries for them "Don't they know their Value?". I fear what lies ahead for their future.
In a youth service at church? Now I've heard everything!
For the record, Donna, I've never heard such things at an actual youth service. I was just referring to the kids that I know are active in youth and still talk that way thinking there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, they can say they THINK that, but I'm pretty sure none of them would say that around their mama... therefore, they know there is something wrong with it.
