Hi everyone, so here's the situation....some other members and myself have noticed something going on in the chat room, in real life, and all over...a lack of reverence for God.
What do I mean you may ask, well things such as refering to God as ''mack daddy'', or ''my homeboy'' and so on...come on brothers and sisters in Christ, that's total disrespect for the Lord. It's just rude!
I'm going to copy and paste what the terms above mean...as they're slang words....mack daddy (noun phrase)
1. A pimp (male manager of prostitutes) 2. A man with many girlfriends
Though strongly associated with rap music, the word mack has been used for over 100 years to mean a pimp.
homeboy noun, slang a person from one's home town or neighbourhood
That's not God at all! First of all, He is by no means a pimp or ''mack daddy'' as most want to say it. Nor is He from here, Hehas always been around, but not of the world, or in the world. He had to create the world after all. The only time that He was even considered on the earth, was when His Son Jesus came to earth to represent God the Father in the flesh. Therefore, we shouldn't be calling Him ''homeboy''.
what is reverence for God anyways? anyone know? it's a feeling of profound awe and respect. Because of His majesty and holiness, God arouses a feeling of reverence in those of us whom worship and serve Him.
Hebrews 12:28-29 Wherefore we recieve a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:For our God is a consuming fire.
Isaiah 17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
Leviticus 19:30Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
Psalm 89:7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
Hebrews 12:9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Funny how many want to witness, testify, and all for the Lord, yet they can't even seem to show reverence for Him eh? I"m just saying, please think before speaking. I decided I'd post this, cause others don't want to, they fear offending others...well what about how they offend us, and most of all God, with a lack of respect! Anyways, yeah...reverence, true recerence that is, that's required in a walk and relationship with Christ. God bless y'all!
