Re: my message tonight at church
Shibboleth (pronounced /ˈʃɪbəlɛθ/[1] or /ˈʃɪbələθ/[2]) is any distinguishing practice which is indicative of one's social or regional origin. It usually refers to features of language, and particularly to a word whose pronunciation identifies its speaker as being a member or not a member of a particular group
------------------------
In the Book of Judges, chapter 12, after the inhabitants of Gilead inflicted a military defeat upon the tribe of Ephraim (around 1370–1070 BC), the surviving Ephraimites tried to cross the Jordan River back into their home territory and the Gileadites secured the river's fords to stop them. In order to identify and kill these refugees, the Gileadites put each refugee to a simple test:
Gilead then cut Ephraim off from the fords of the Jordan, and whenever Ephraimite fugitives said, 'Let me cross,' the men of Gilead would ask, 'Are you an Ephraimite?' If he said, 'No,' they then said, 'Very well, say Shibboleth.' If anyone said, 'Sibboleth', because he could not pronounce it, then they would seize him and kill him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell on this occasion.
– Judges 12:5-6, NJB

Re: my message tonight at church
that is right...
I was taling about how important it is to be a real christian...and telling hem tat one time I read about how our vocal cords are formed to pronounce words...and was applying that in our everyday walk with God and how we must form a christian accent in all we do...being christian will become part of us and not something we pick up and lay down at will...
We must learn to know how to think like a christan...tak like a christian and live like a christian...

We must adorn the doctrine of Christ. Being like Christ by following his example should be our goal.

Amen!
I honestly wonder how many REALLY "learn to put on Christ" and live it.
