when we hear the phrase 'mind your language' - we immediately think of swearing and obscenities...
(to be honest i'm becoming a lot more tolerant to 'swearing')...
with 'mind your langauge' i don't want to focus on swearing but the 'religious jargon' that so many christians use.
look at the words of the songs we sing:
glory, glorify God, majesty, holy, lamb slain, blessed be your name,reign in me...
the danger is that our religious language is so alienated from our everyday language...
we repeat the words but they no longer have any real impact ..because they have
become meaningless, trite...
i suggest we think before we speak...
being prepared to use words that can be understood by those who don't speak the religious language...
in this way our faith talk may be more pertinant,
authentic,
and understood...
so MIND YOUR LANGUAGE!
