CHILD-FRIENDLY BLASPHEMY!

Luke 12:10 “If you speak badly about Jesus because you don’t understand, God can forgive you. But if you speak against God and the Holy Spirit on purpose, God will not forgive that.”

 

What Is Blasphemy?

Blasphemy means not respecting God. It is saying bad things about Him, using His name carelessly, or acting like you are greater than Him. God’s name is holy, and we must treat it with honour.

-        Exodus 20:7 says: “Do not misuse God’s name.”

-        When people act like they are God or use the Bible like magic, that is wrong.

-        Job’s wife told him to curse God when life was hard, but Job said no (Job 2:8–10).

Even Jesus was called a blasphemer because He said He was God—but He really is God! Today, some people still teach things that make God look small or make themselves look big. That is blasphemy.

Blasphemy can happen when:

We take credit for what God has done.

We use God’s name in a joke or when we are angry.

We treat God’s Word like magic instead of truth.

God wants us to honour Him in everything—our words, choices, and actions.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

-        What does blasphemy mean to you?

-        Have I ever used God’s name wrongly or acted like I’m more important than Him?

-        How can I honour God every day in my speech and actions?

PRAYER: Lord, help me to respect Your name and show Your greatness in everything I do. Help me never to act in a way that makes You look small. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Shalom!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
