Crass Living and Crass Language
This is just a warning to those who have been influenced by political and other groups who feel free to use crass language.
If there is any crass language even in the introduction I will not consider listening to or watching the video. If there is crass language in the article I will stop reading as soon as I see it.
Crass language is an indication to me that the person using it has little discernment or sensitivity to offending brothers and sisters, therefore I do not trust their wisdom.
Also, If anyone uses filthy language leaving out a few letters to pretend they are not using the word I will consider this lack of wisdom and will not listen. Leaving out a few letters in the filthy language is the same as if you have written the entire word, it leaves a picture in one's mind of that word and that act.
So many people now want to fit in with the world thinking they can justify the use of this language with "plausible deniability" because they left out some letters or words in a phrase. Even if you use only part of a phrase that contains some of the crass language making everyone think in their head about that phrase, you have effectively used that whole phrase.
Whenever I see these words with letters missing or phrases with some words missing that convey filthy language I will stop reading or listening.
Using crass and filthy language demonstrates an immaturity that needs to be repented of to grow in holiness.
Ephesians 4:29 "29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them."
Hebrews 5:13-14 "13 Anyone who has to drink milk is still a baby, without experience in applying the Word about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish good from evil."
Believers please stop trying to fit into the world. Stop trying to be acceptable to the world by becoming like them in your verbiage.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "…16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
I may lose friends over this, I hope not, but if I do that will reveal the stubbornness of heart to resist correction and it will also reveal how important it is for the person using crass language to be acceptable to the world.
Crass living and crass language are clues of the character of a person.
Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law."
Hebrews 12:11
"For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."
Proverbs 12:1
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."
James 4:7-9 "7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.…"

God did not send Trump to save this country.
God has sent Trump to cause further division. He is doing some right things that conservatives like, but it is enraging the demons to act even more aggressively than ever before.
Trump was sent to bring out the wickedness of this country inflaming the evil liberals to have their tantrum to ruin the country further. If you want to see underneath the false persona of someone, come against what they want and what they like and watch the rage that emerges. This is what is happening in this country right now. We have seen this in interpersonal relationships, it is on steroids in the political arena today.
We are at the tipping point in this wicked country. The evil is so great God is in the process of punishing us for that evil. Even in the churches who have turned their backs on God and His Word the Bible, in favor of their selfish man-centered gospel, they remain stubborn and even abusive toward the truth.
Trump's pastor is a rebellious Jesabel woman who usurps the authority of God, preaches health, wealth, and prosperity, bringing much apostasy and heresy to the people. This Jezebel woman is not born again herself, she lies against the Word of God while leading many away from the true gospel.
Undiscerning Christians are calling our president a Christian without taking a good look at the doctrines of his jezebel pastor. They are ignoring our presidents crassness and narcissistic character, his adulterous marriages and other flaws that dishonor our God in order to get the things they like, such as superficial things like a good economy, a wall, freedom to do whatever they please while ignoring the fact that he is not telling anyone to repent from their sin and trust in Christ. He cannot come against sin because he is deeply in sin himself.
So many people believe Trump is going to save America, but I differ with that, I am convinced he was given this position by God to further enrage the liberals in these evil times. We are on the fast track to the antichrist, everything now will point to and lead to that end.
How dare anyone in America to expect to be saved while shouting things like "God bless America" when as a country we have brought much shame to the name of Christ as well as evil to the rest of the world. Whether or not we used to be a Christian nation is not even a debate, what matters is what we are right now, which is arrogant, selfish, pleasure-seeking and tolerant of every sin possible.
It is also a time in which many apostates, that is false Christians, will be fooled. These are the ones who will follow the antichrist when he appears. He will claim to be Christ and they will believe Him. He will promise peace and prosperity and these people will fall right in line to follow him.
Thessalonians 5:3 "While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape."
Jeremiah 6:14
“They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace."
The promises we are seeing in this country right now are superficial and deceptive. The only true solution is for everyone to become born again, but because of prophecy, we know this will not happen.
Stop looking for safety and freedom and begin looking to Christ to work mightily in each one of our lives to be witnesses for Him in these days right before the rapture of the church.

In Context with the Passage and Then with the Rest of the Bible
When we are confident in Christ we have no need to convey a false elevated persona of self, we are not concerned about how others view us. We are, however, deeply concerned about obeying the will of Christ.
Narcissists are continually engaged in false personas worrying constantly about what others think of them. They cannot be effective for Christ as long as they spend more time on the opinions of others than they do on Christ.
Those who must appear special to others cannot be bold for Christ. They are insecure and beggarly in their walk. When the opinions of others control us we cannot think for ourselves, operate from the Holy Spirit or even stand against sin. Everything depends on the reaction of others toward us.
This is why so many people now say things like; "we should say things in a way that they will receive it."
This mantra has been going around for a long time since 1970's. It cannot be consistent with the Bible, God makes it clear that most people will not accept the gospel. God never mentions "how" we should say things only that we should say them in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our delivery is based on the need of the hearer and only Christ can know that.
Those who walk in the flesh often take their clues from psychology that is antithetical to Christ and His principles.
The apostles and Christ were crucified because the people hated their message, even though it would have saved the people from hell. Did the apostles not say their message in the right way? They were led by the Holy Spirit and yet the people hearing hatred them for their message from God.
Matthew 10:21-23 "…21Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next."
You will not find in Scripture one verse that says we should be careful how we say things so that people will receive it. If people would receive our message based on the delivery then most people would be saved, but the truth is that most people will not be saved. We are not responsible for the delivery, the Holy Spirit is and sometimes it is gentle and other times harsh.
Matthew 23:27-28
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
Jesus Christ was our ultimate example and His Holy Spirit lives in believers. We can trust Christ to speak what should be said and when. We have no need to wring our hands and worry about saying something "the right way" according to psychology.
John 6:26-27 "26 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it is not because you saw these signs that you are looking for Me, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”…"
I have used scripture many times to prove my point about things, even being chastised for not using my own opinion. One person said "can't you think for yourself?, after which I wrote the scripture admonishing us to "think with the mind of Christ."
If you cannot back up your assertions with legitimate scripture without taking it out of context then you are to be disregarded. So many "Christians" take a sentence or two out of context to make the point they want to make. This is lying against God's word. Every scripture must be conveyed within its context.
When I give scriptures here I expect those reading to go back and put them into context for the overall meaning. Then when the passage is in context with the chapter we must also put the chapter in context with the rest of the Bible. Nothing in one passage would contradict anything in the rest of the Bible.
