Is Saying OMG Blasphemy?
I received the following question from a subscriber:
____________________________ Hi Randi,
"Hi Sarah, I live near many children playing and the phrase
"OMG" is a habit I cringe at hearing. When a child uses the Lord's name as a swear word (or even an adult) I cringe. What do you and your followers have to say in response to hearing someone cuss like this? What should our response be?"
~ Randi G.
Your question is a good one! I agree that hearing that phrase is cringe-worthy and offensive.
As for how we should respond, we could offer a stern correction, but would it be received? Another question to consider is whether we have a relationship with the person. If not, we may first need to earn the right to be heard by showing genuine care and kindness. Whatever approach we take, our goal should be to speak the truth in love and ultimately point people to Jesus. Amen?
With children, you might ask something like this . . .
Treasure Quest
A Faith-Filled Card Game of Eternal Virtues
Embark on an inspiring adventure where the goal isn't gold—but godly character! In
Treasure
Quest, players race to collect five powerful virtues: Kindness, Faith, Forgiveness, Service, and Sacrifice.
The first to gather all five treasures wins—not just the game, but a deeper understanding of what it means to "Store up for yourselves treasures in
heaven. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" Matthew 6:19–21.
Are You Reconciled?
Reconciliation, what a wonderful word! It describes how two parties are brought back into a right relationship . . . Having been reconciled to God through Christ, we are called to reflect His grace in our relationships with others. Just as God took the initiative to reconcile us to Himself, He calls us to pursue peace and reconciliation with others . . . Are reconciled? Keep reading.
