Jesus himself did not always say positive things to people.

Matthew 21:12-13

12Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13"It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'"

Matthew 23:33

33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

But we know that everything Jesus said was in love and to try and change the wicked behavior of others.

He also used humor...

Matthew 7:3-5

3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Joking with others, as long as both of you know it is a joke, among friends is fine. Making someone the brunt of a joke to hurt them...is not. IMO

IF you called the guy an airhead because you knew he'd laugh along and your relationship was edified as a result, that's fine

IF you called the guy an airhead to harm him or 'poke fun' and this person was not enjoying it and was harmed, that's sin

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

1 Th.5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as you do.

Well I agree with both of you, but venture to declare that we don't actually follow the scriptures to the letter in many of our posts do we? (I have been guilty of this, so no judgement from me, just an observation). Maybe we should be changing our ways some?

Staying in the word is always life changing. As time passes and we become strengthened and sensitive to His teachings our ways do change.

You had made mention of brotherly or manly joking around for fun. Yes , I 'm familiar with this, and it is fun as long as one person in particular is not the butt of the joke. All to often it is the same person over and over again being called the airhead, slowmo or whatever.

There are plenty of situations in life were we can enjoy laughing at ourselves, but there really is a fine line between that and subtle ridicule.

For example, a friend of mine, a somewhat beefy fellow, decided he would try his hand at rapid firing a 12ga. semi-automatic using 3in. magnum rounds...the result of course was him sitting on his butt in the mud, and yes we all had a good laugh. I will ad that labels like air head, that was dumb etc etc, were absent.

Anyway, I think as time passes and the Lord allows we are to bring ourselves more in line with His thinking and use each and every situation to it's most positive potential.

No I called him an airhead because he acted like one! He is my brother, my best friend, and we have not had one fight our entire lives, not one. My mother was constantly amazed! He is my brother, I love him, I would die for him and he for me, we work for Jesus together, we live apart but talk at least twice a day, our holidays are taken together, and every holiday is an outreach. But he is an airhead at times :whistling:

If he's okay (as in he is not discouraged) with being called an 'airhead', by all means... but I'm sure the term forgetful would be a little more appropriate than the 'airhead' box... I'm sure he has a brain. Just be careful with your desires and intentions.

With all that in mind, the phrase 'take it easy' also comes into play. Some things aren't worth fussing over.

:whistling: No fuss at all, as I said we know each other better than anyone else will ever do!

But my intention was not to highlight the (in our relationship), minor thing (and he gives as good as he gets!), but to set a foundation for how we sometimes treat each other here on Worthy.

And I think the point has been made as to how we should treat each other here. :rolleyes:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
