The Dangers of Sexting.

[Titus2woman]

I do not deny that there are besetting sins. I myself struggled with profanity for years after being saved. While I learned to quit saying the 'big three' I still used all kinds of slang and replacements for cuss words. I still thought in curses... In example when someone cut me off in traffic or I dropped a hammer on my foot I did not think 'meanie!' or 'ouch!'... I might have even let expletives out into the atmosphere if I was 'alone'. It was the realization that I am never alone that helped me most. God sees me 24/7 and if I would not do it in front of my boss I won't do it in front of God either. I desire to clean every last vestige of profanity from my life, because it is sin.

I understand that the work is mine but the grace and strength to do it is Gods. I am not a 'cusser' because I have cussed and someone else is not an alcoholic or a pervert who will never be whole without a lifetime of 12 step meetings.We are people who once sinned by cussing, drinking and viewing pornography. And such were some of you. Our sins are not our identity. That is the triumph of God.

The idea of sin as addictions and diseases are cultural. This is the kind of stinkin' thinkin' that leads us to believe that homosexuals are 'born that way' and can not be changed by God. We as the representatives of the One True God have to avoid falling too far into the culture trap and find our beliefs in scripture. So again I ask... where is the part in God's word that says certain types of sinners will not be changed without something besides the power of God?
