This video actually made me laugh first, then encouraged me to watch my intentions. Often times I feel like just because I didn't curse in an argument, then I didn't sin. But that's not true, is all about what our intentions are in the heart.
Frege’s sense/reference distinction is important here. Tripp is not using these words in that he is not evoking their senses (i.e. their denotative and connotative meanings). He is referring to them and how they are often used and misused; that is, he names them for the sake of illustration, but he does not employ them to mean what they mean. By contrast, in the dessert example, his children were using the words to evoke their senses. That is why he admonished them regarding their intentions. They were using the word ‘shit’ in an irreverent and crass way for their own amusement. It served as an opportunity for Tripp to point out the inherent appeal of the taboo to us as natural born sinners, but more importantly, it provided him with an opportunity to point his children’s hearts and minds toward their responsibility to speak in a gracious and upright manner in response to and as a result of the grace and righteousness that Christ has imparted to them through his life, death, resurrection, and ascension.
My chief problem is with the clattering background noise. Surely it's not necessary - it doesn't enhance the speaking. Why is background racket deemed necessary? Is the speaker otherwise boring? If I judge him by the choice of background noise, I dismiss what he says as nonsense.
I agree with you 100% that the music is annoying. Good logic also teaches us to not disregard what people says based on the music. Why would you judge him based on the music?
All great to talk about the standard of the Bible but only so that it points to Christ, the only one able to meet the standard and gives us his righteousness.
Yea agreed... In a perfect world! I sometimes however need to VENT! Frustrations anger... With another human! This option is not available in posh churches where everyone is 'edifying' each other. So i dont attend them unless im feeling great. Means when im low there is no option of fellowship... Only worldly people wordly things bla bla bla.. So what happens... Bad company corrupts good character... And the cycle continues,
Hey cheese burger, Have you ever thought about venting those frustrations to God? He can take it you know, even if you use language that's displeasing to Him. That's obviously not a free pass to not grow in the way you communicate, but God wants relationship with you. He doesn't expect perfection. Finally, it's okay to share frustrations with people, but be careful. There's a fine line between venting about a situation and gossip sometimes! Don't be afraid to share what's going on in your life with others. I hope you find a community that's willing to put aside judgment and build community with you!
I cant see what i wrote i have a relationship with God not a good one at the moment... And there is no one to listen...no community... Everyone in my world has defected to satan or looking for 1 of 2 personality types to hang out with 1) completely desperate and broken or 2) perfected lovely funny and happy. No middle ground!
+cheese burger Sounds like you just need to find some Christians who are "at your level" cuss, screw up, don't hide pain or failures. Those people will edify you where you are and you guys can grow up together. No shame in being a rachet mess if that's what you are at the moment.
Well i had 3 weeks of being almost mr perfect after writing this post (and doing a sauna detox using iodine and vegetable juices) however.. Now im crashed again. Christians? Where are they? I know many fakes... Only one real one. When you have no decent crack (conversation) for like 7 weeks you become a mess... Thats me right now. I talk for England because its been so long... This scares most people yet will never come back into ballance until I've got lots of my chest. Then what happens... I become 'normal' again. Do people ignore me again. I do well simply reading the Bible and doing my stuff... For maybe 2-3 weeks... Then i stuggle again. I have to almost beg and be so in the dumps to get any attention! Its the people who treat me like this and require me to be desperate down lonely that actually keep me down desperate lonely! Please whoever you are reading this... Go visit someone who is alone. Your granny your neighbour the bloke at work that smells and no one likes... The rude alcoholic or the bigot.. Go buy them a bible or a coffee or a banana or bake them a cake! (gluten free butter brown sugar of course not marj lol) What im saying is.. To everyone of faith.. Make that effort. Dont just hang out with the cool kids. The immediate family. Dont give your tithe to the pastor. Sneek it in the pocket of the scruffy poor smelly person at the back... Or pay someones electric bill. Your pastor probably has a clean tidy house and 2 annual holidays. Whilst his flock struggle.

“Wholesome communication is intended to give grace to the hearer.”
This was very enlightening Thank u.

4:30 - 5:00 is brilliant
PDT is a gospel theologian legend

It would be nice to have a version without the background noise.
This man is a hero to me.

wowie zowie.
it shows fear and ignorance.
Turns out his kids were on the money, isn't that always the way?
Why would you use such degrading and disgusting language to try to get people to speak in an edifying way?
...maybe to show that it is not a matter of guarding vocabulary, but instead about being mindful of our intentions.
You'll live
How is it degrading and disgusting?
I mistakenly thought this would be an interesting video about language.

+cheese burger Hey cheeseburger how are you doing? I know exactly how you feel and if you ever need to talk my email aprilsmith898@yahoo.com
This guys knowledge of the Bible and what is truly Christ like behavior is so far from the truth. This guy is seriously messed up...
Awful
This was uber dumb...I think it's pretty obvious from Scripture how to speak in an edifying way without this dorky explanation! - C
This was very offensive.
I know this is very late, but why. Please explain why it is so offensive?
Good.
This guy is biblically unsound
Seems like Paul David Tripp would be OK with Trumps recent language that shocked even the unbelieving world. Sad.
Clint Martin seems like you heard the profanity and nothing else...
