DISTRACTED BY EUPHEMISMS
Friday, October 05, 2018
John MKJV 7:45-46 Then the officers came to the chief
priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, Why have you not brought him
[Jesus]? The officers answered, Never did any man speak as does this Man.
How easily are we
distracted from truth by worldly euphemisms?
God’s Word
exemplifies and directs us to be plainspeakers. Plainspeaking sometimes
requiring the Biblical mandate to be a rethinker; to examine what we think and
do in order to please God. (Rom.12:1-3) Once again I failed at this task. A
failure I realized when reading an Omaha World-Herald op-ed while noshing corn
flakes immersed in skimmed milk topped with sliced banana. This time it
involved having accepted “distracted drivers” as though they are vastly
different than selfish drivers inebriated or otherwise self-absorbed. And hereafter
my saying so will not be limited to this page.
