The GARBAGE story

 

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

It started when Joe Biden was put in place.

We knew trouble was "afoot".

When he was of no use anymore, they "dumped" him.

In his place, he recommended Kamala.

Was it by choice, or was he given no choice?

At a recent Trump rally, a comedian drops a bomb.

He says the "only floating garbage" is Puerto Rico.

Even I was shocked at his statement.

Picking up from that, Biden says the only garbage he knows are Trump's supporters.

This, he says, as Kamala was on her major campaign.

Was this a "sabotage" of sorts?

Did the current president feel left out?

Was he about to have the last say?

Did they think he's better off home"

And not at the campaign?

Well, he needed to speak.

He was still president, after all.

And speak he did.

To the detriment of his "chosen" candidate.

Next thing you know, Trump picks up on the insult.

He rides a garbage truck, complete with orange vest on.

Vivek Ramaswamy also tries his hand emptying the bin into a garbage truck.

It's become a stunt, and a "steal".

Biden stole the thunder from Kamala.

Trump stole the thunder from Biden.

The whole Trump campaign stole the thunder from the Harris campaign.

Resulting in thunderous applause from Donald's supporters.

Not only that, he continues to wear that vest at another campaign.

Initially, he said he wanted to take that off already.

That he wanted his usual blue jacket.

But his campaigners said he looked "thinner" with the vest on.

Joke or not, he kept the vest on, to the delight of his supporters.

There are many layers to this "garbage" story, as you can see.

The comedian insulted.

The current president insulted.

The contender exalted.

He got creative, and milked the insult for all its worth.

And came out winning, not "pikon" as we would say in our language.

("Pikon" means you can't handle a joke.)

Well, Trump could.

He's used to being insulted.

As he also used to hurl his own.

But is this how GOD wants us all to be?

Like a bunch of bickering, willful children?

Are we going to remain clueless about His laws?

JESUS spelled out our errors for us:

Luke 6:45

King James Version

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart 

bringeth forth that which is good; 

and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart 

bringeth forth that which is evil: 

for of the abundance of the heart 

his mouth speaketh.

Matthew 15:11

King James Version

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth 

defileth a man; 

but that which cometh out of the mouth, 

this defileth a man.

Matthew 15:18-19

King James Version

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth 

come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 

murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, 

false witness, blasphemies:

When you spew filth, expect garbage to come back at you.

Pretty much like when people dump their garbage in rivers, and oceans.

The ocean, through tides, winds, and waves, bring it back to you.

We can't be rid of this cycle, until, and unless, we stop throwing garbage.

Change comes from us.

We need to start within ourselves first.

By repenting of our sins.

By being born again.

By being subject to GOD's laws.

By loving GOD with all our heart.

By believing in JESUS as the SON of GOD.

By taking guidance from the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

By being a new person in CHRIST.

All the garbage in your heart will be thrown out.

Your mouth cannot spew garbage anymore.

You heart cannot cultivate filth anymore.

Your body has become the TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT.

You will want your soul acceptable to the LORD.

Your path is holiness.

Your goal is eternal life with JESUS.

You want to be done with the world's filth.

Only JESUS can help you do that.

Isaiah 53:7

King James Version

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

Sometimes I think we're all a bunch of unruly kids.

Not realizing the chain reaction from our thoughts, words, and actions.

Will our HEAVENLY FATHER finally discipline us?

Only He knows when He's had enough of our foolishness.

It's fair to say we've had tons of warnings.

FREEDOM from profanity

 

Proverbs 16:21

King James Version

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: 

and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

What comes out from your mouth?

Sweet words, or profanity?

Kindness, or anger?

Compassion, or cruelty?

Help, or stumblingblocks?

Blessings, or curse?

What is profanity?

Merriam-Webster defines it as:

"the use of profane language"

But what is "profane"?

Again, Merriam-Webster defines it as:

-- secular

-- unsanctified

-- irreverent

-- obscene

-- vulgar

Other descriptions come to mind:

-- abusive

-- contemptuous

-- ungodly

The Bible gives us examples:

Exodus 20:7

King James Version

7 Thou shalt not take 

the name of the Lord thy God in vain; 

for the Lord will not hold him guiltless 

that taketh his name in vain.

Proverbs 6:12

King James Version

12 A naughty person, 

a wicked man, 

walketh with a froward mouth.

Proverbs 21:9

King James Version

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, 

than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Colossians 3:8

King James Version

8 But now ye also put off all these; 

anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, 

filthy communication out of your mouth.

2 Timothy 2:16

King James Version

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: 

for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

James 1:26

King James Version

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, 

and bridleth not his tongue, 

but deceiveth his own heart, 

this man's religion is vain.

James 3:6-8

King James Version

6 And 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.

7 For every kind of beasts, 

and of birds, 

and of serpents,

and of things in the sea, 

is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

8 But the tongue can no man tame; 

it is an unruly evil, 

full of deadly poison.

How to be FREE from profanity?

Become born again.

The born again is taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

SPIRIT will teach you all things JESUS.

SPIRIT teaches us HOLINESS.

Look what JESUS taught us:

Matthew 12:31-33

King James Version

31 Wherefore I say unto you, 

All manner of sin and blasphemy 

shall be forgiven unto men: 

but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 

shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word 

against the Son of man, 

it shall be forgiven him: 

but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, 

it shall not be forgiven him, 

neither in this world, 

neither in the world to come.

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; 

or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: 

for the tree is known by his fruit.

Matthew 12:35-37

King James Version

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart 

bringeth forth good things: 

and an evil man out of the evil treasure 

bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, 

That every idle word that men shall speak, 

they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, 

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Matthew 15:11

King James Version

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth 

defileth a man; 

but that which cometh out of the mouth, 

this defileth a man.

Matthew 15:18-20

King James Version

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth 

come forth from the heart; 

and they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 

murders, adulteries, fornications, 

thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20 These are the things which defile a man: 

but to eat with unwashen hands 

defileth not a man.

Look what James taught us:

James 3:10-18

King James Version

10 Out of the same mouth 

proceedeth blessing and cursing. 

My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place 

sweet water and bitter?

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? 

either a vine, figs? 

so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13 Who is a wise man 

and endued with knowledge among you? 

let him shew out of a good conversation 

his works with meekness of wisdom.

14 But if ye have bitter envying 

and strife in your hearts, 

glory not, 

and lie not against the truth.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, 

but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where envying and strife is, 

there is confusion and every evil work.

17 But 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.

18 And the fruit of righteousness 

is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Look what king Solomon taught us:

Proverbs 25:15

King James Version

15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, 

and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

In tenderness, is CHRIST.

For He is PRINCE of PEACE.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

Let us, therefore, take counsel, from the PRINCE of PEACE.

Only through JESUS, can man have peace.

Only then can we speak good things.

And never profanity.

That is the ideal.
