Graffiti

Don’t bad-mouth each other, friends. It’s God’s Word, his Message, his Royal Rule, that takes a beating in that kind of talk. You’re supposed to be honoring the Message, not writing graffiti all over it.
James 4:11 The Message

Graffiti is an art form - an illegal one. Some of it is quite extraordinary, but it is still done without permission and defaces public or private property. In other words, it's against the law...  

Sin is like that. Hebrews 11 refers to the temporary pleasure of sin and yet, the full wage of sin is death. Mark 12 tells us to love God and love our neighbor - there are no greater commandments than those two.

James 3:9-10 tells us, With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth! My friends, this can’t go on. 

It doesn't matter how much Word we have memorized if we're not doers of it, too. Let's love one another. 

Prayer:

Father,

           Help us to remember that what we sow, we also reap. Keep us ever mindful to sow good seed so our harvest is pure. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
