We often forget that what we say has a huge impact on our thoughts, attitudes and relationships with others. We speak hundreds or even thousands of words every day,
and we often forget how powerful they are. As Christians, we have a special responsibility for our words because the Bible emphasizes the importance of speech as an
instrument of good or bad service.
As the Book of Proverbs says, "Death and life depend on the tongue." That's why today we'd like to look at five things we as Christians should stop saying, according
to the teachings of the Bible.
In the book of Deuteronomy, in chapter five, we read: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not go unpunished who takes
His name in vain." So what is taking the name of the Lord in vain and why is it so serious? Taking God's name in vain means saying His name for no reason other
than to express anger, disappointment or other negative emotions.
This is something that is very displeased with God. Taking His name in vain is not only offensive to Him, but also to other people who hear these words.
Taking the name of the Lord in vain, therefore, is a violation of the principle of respect for God and other people.
We should remember that God is holy and worthy of respect, and His name should be used with reverence and dignity. When talking about God, we should choose our words
carefully and avoid using His name in negative contexts. These days, many people say, "Oh, my God," in reference to trivial things or situations where this call
is out of place.
In the Bible, the name of God is considered something special and sacred. Therefore, by saying "Oh my God" to trivial things, such as a bus delay or as
an expression of displeasure, people are breaking these rules and showing disrespect to God. Meanwhile, we should remember that God is holy and worthy of
respect, and His name should be used with caution and seriousness.
As Christians, we have a moral obligation to keep our promises and keep our word. There are many examples in the Bible that show how important it is to
keep the promises we make to others and to God. Jesus spoke of the importance of keeping your word when he said, "Let your speech be this: yes, no: no.
For whatever is beyond that comes from evil."
This means that as Christians we should be people of the word and stick to our promises, because otherwise our words may be considered untrustworthy.
As Christians, we must remember that our words have power, and we should hold to our promises with complete seriousness and respect for God and others.
When we make a promise, we should be sure that we can keep it, and if we are not sure, we should think before making it. In the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter five,
we read: "It is better not to take a vow than not to keep what one has vowed. Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not say to God's messenger that
it was an oversight. Why did God should be angry at your speech and annihilate the work of your hands?"
In this passage from Ecclesiastes, King Solomon reminds us of the importance of keeping our promises. Making promises is easy, but keeping them takes dedication
and responsibility. Christians should be examples to others in keeping their words and promises.
Our world is full of promises that are often broken. This creates a lack of trust and damages interpersonal relationships. As Christians, we should stand
out in our conduct and be people of the word who keep our promises. As Christians, we have a responsibility to follow the moral principles that have been given
to us in the Bible.
One of the important rules is to respect the language and refrain from using vulgar words. Often under the influence of emotions, stress or tension, we say
things that we later regret. However, as the Bible reminds us, our words matter and affect our lives and the lives of others.
In Ephesians chapter 4, we read, "Let no evil word come out of your mouth, but only good words that can help in need and that will benefit those who hear."
This passage of the Bible reminds us that our words should always be good and constructive, helping and benefiting others.
Using vulgar language, swearing or insulting other people is not in line with these rules. Such behavior can hurt others as well as negatively affect our own
lives and relationships. As Christians, we should be guided by moral principles and refrain from using vulgar language, cursing, or insulting other people.
As Christians, we believe that God is holy and requires us to be holy as well. We cannot, therefore, first use vulgar language, and then with the same mouth,
worship God who is Holy. As Christians, we should remember that our mouth is a tool that can be used for both good and evil purposes.
Avoiding bad language will help us keep our hearts and spirits pure. As Christians, we should not, indeed, cannot speak words that are superstitious.
Many people believe that superstition helps them cope with everyday problems or bring them happiness, but for a Christian, such behavior is inappropriate.
As Christians, we should be guided by faith and trust in God, not superstition. Superstitions often contradict our faith and should have no place in our lives.

The Bible says in the book of Deuteronomy: "There will be no one among you who will lead his son or daughter through fire, practice divination, witchcraft,
prophecies and sorcery, practice spells, ask ghosts and ghosts, address the dead For everyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of
these abominations, the LORD your God is driving them out from before you."
In these words, the Lord God clearly says that superstition, divination and witchcraft are disgusting to Him. As Christians, we should rely on God and pray to
Him when we need help or support. We should not seek support from superstitions that are contrary to our faith.
When we talk about superstitions, it often leads to entertaining dangerous and harmful practices, such as card reading and witchcraft. It is important to
remember that God is the only one who can help and support us.
There is no need to seek help elsewhere because He is always with us and ready to help us in any situation. As Christians, we should trust and rely on His
word and prayer, not superstition. Let us remember that superstitions are contrary to our faith and should not have a place in our lives. It is worth
remembering that God is the only one who can help us and give us support.
As Christians, we believe that God is omnipotent and knows what is best for our way of life. However, sometimes difficulties and problems arise in our lives
that make us "dictate" to God what He should do in our lives. We tell him what decisions he should make, what he should give us, and what miracles he should perform.

Unfortunately, this approach is not only wrong, but also leads to anxiety, disappointment, and distrust of God. In the Book of Job we can read Job's words:
"We know that you can do anything and that nothing can stop you from carrying out your plan." It means that God is omnipotent and is able to carry out every
plan and purpose.
However, when we tell him what he should do, it means that we consider ourselves better than him and that we are better able to solve our problems than God.
In the Book of Proverbs, we read: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Remember Him in all your ways, and He will make
your paths straight."
This means that we should trust and rely on God, not on our own abilities and ideas. It is He who knows our needs and what is best for us. Therefore, when
we tell God what He should do, we are actually refusing to trust Him and recognizing that our solutions are better than His.
In Isaiah we read, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so
are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
This means that God knows what is best for us and that His plans are always better than ours. We must recognize that God is God and we are only human.
When we tell God what He should do, we are trying to impose our own limitations and perspectives on Him, which is impossible.
We are too small and limited people to fully understand God and his plans. As Christians, we should remember that we are
children of God and our words
should be in accordance with His will.
