words

How many times do we as Christians refer to the creator of all things at Lord.

Yet we don't even think of what that word really even means.

Lord, according to dictionary.com means, "a person who has authority, control, or power over others; amaster, chief, or ruler."


Now when we refer to God, as our Lord and savior. it brings a different thought to mind.


We think of the savior part so much. how much God has changed us, and how God will bring us into Heaven instead of this idea of a dominating being.  Lord is the word for a servant or slave owner.  Now God lets us live our own lives. so he is not like one of them, but maybe. 

Maybe
We christians should start looking to God as a Lord.  a Being that needs to have control over us.  


Our tongues are something that kill us.  I gossip all the time and need to grow out of this.  God is to be our Lord. and the Word says that the tongue is like a double edged sword.  In order to tame our tongue, i believe we need help from our Lord. to help control us, and through us, our tongues.


So many times throughout scripture it says, they spoke and people knew it was the word of the Lord.  Or people knew that I am God (from GOd's view).  I believe, we need to let the Lord, control  us more.  Let God own us.  


Through his ownership. comes true freedom.
