Today I accepted the position of brickmaker on Christian Forums.
I became eligible for this position by virtue of having posted one hundred times.
I also noticed that I now have a chat box at the top of the main page of the forum.
When I approach a task, I like to do it as instructed in God's word.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
That's a pretty clear warning against doing wrong.
Another clear warning can be found in Exodus 34:7
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Some may think that this warning is only ment as a caution against violating the ten commandments because it was spoken at the time they were written upon the stone.
But this is ment as a promise. We will see the evidence of the consequences of how we treat one another all the days of our lives whether for good or for bad. If you say a hurtful word to your son that will stay with him (haunting him) and when his son is born then that same hurtful word will come forth from his mouth to hurt once again. What we say to each other is very important. It doesn't just go away. It goes into the ear and churns around in the head and settles in the heart as pain and heartbreak and sickness if bad.
But if you say a good word. That too will go into the ear and churn around in the head and settle in the heart as a blessing, uplifting, encouragement. When your son's baby is born, that child will reap the fruit of your good words. He will bring healing and restoration to all that know him.
It is also a physical thing. You have heard of fetal alcohol syndrome. When a mother drinks alcohol while she is pregnant there are physical evidences of that behavior in the facial features of the child. That "sin" will show itself to the third and fourth generation in the form of ADHD and loss of self-control and an inability to stop compulsive behaviors.
My prayer for you is that God will open your spiritual ears to this truth. In Christ Jesus our LORD.
