HOW COME PEOPLE ARE NOT AFRAID TO SWEAR IN PUBLIC AND DISREGAURD THE FACT THAT CHILDREN ARE PRESENT OR SING WORDLY SONGS WITH HORRIABLE LYRICS OR BLAST THERE WORDLY MUSIC IN PUBLIC, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO GOD PEOPLE ARE AFAID TO SING HIS PRAISES LOUDLY OR TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF GOD?
ME TOO I AM THE SAME WAY. I HAVE EVEN HAD SOMEONE STOP ME AND ASK WHO IT WAS I FELT THAT WAS MY WAY TO TESTIFY TO PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW HOW FAR WE HAVE COME AS CHRISTIAN. IF I CAN TOUCH ONE SOUL IM HAPPY
lisha, another great question. when i first fell in love w/the Lord, I was SO self conscience. I looooooooooooved to jam my praise and worship music in my van................with the windows up!
I would feel so bad, and I would pray like crazy about it. I fet like I was ashamed of God. And I guess I was...............
But now!!!!!!!!!!! I dont care who see's, hears, or judges me ANYMORE!
I sing to the top of my lungs in my house w/all the windows open for al the neighbors to hear. I sing to teh top of my lungs in my van for all the peope at the stop light to hear and see.
The point is, I was young, and now I have grown alittle. before i cared what people thought and now i dont. its all about the Lord now.
i am ashamed at how i was before, but the Lord took that from me.
And as for swearing..............
i do that in public too. i dont hide or try to be someone im not. and i hate that toooooooooo. sometimes i want to pretend to be "holier than thou" because i feel like if people see me being real, they might not want Jesus.
im not saying that i walk down the isles in walmart cussing like a sailor, but im saying that i DO cuss, and when i do, i do.
but besides that, i am NOT AFRAID!!!!!!!!!!! to tell people the greatness, awsomeness & wonderfulnes of God!!!!!
