BLACKGUM CHRISTIAN UNION CHURCH

CURSING AND LYING SHOULD NOT COME OUT OF A CHRISTIAN’S MOUTH! WHEN YOU’RE TRULY BORN AGAIN THIS TYPE OF SPEAKING IS OFFENSIVE AND ABHORENT TO GOD–AS IT SHOULD BE WITH ALL “TRUE” CHRISTIANS!

CURSING AND LYING SHOULD NOT COME OUT OF A CHRISTIAN’S MOUTH! WHEN YOU’RE TRULY BORN AGAIN THIS TYPE OF SPEAKING IS OFFENSIVE AND ABHORENT TO GOD–AS IT SHOULD BE WITH ALL “TRUE” CHRISTIANS!

James 3:1-18 1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

WE CAN’T THROW STONES! WE, AS “TRUE” CHRISTIANS CAN KNOW A TREE BY ITS FRUIT! COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM!

John 8:1-8 1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM! 2 Corinthians 6:17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

BE ABOUT THE FATHER’S BUSINESS! LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE SO ALL CAN SEE THE REFLECTION OF JESUS CHRIST IN YOU! In the name of Jesus Christ, I love you…please come to church to hear, study, and learn the WORD of God. Just COME AS YOU ARE. God bless!
