Is this the name He gave to Moses when he asked WHO should he say sent him to the Pharaoh/Hebrews? As far as I know, no. I'm a Christian but I've never understood Christianity's prohibition of this.

I work ...I couldn't agree with this post more. I work in a completely non-Christian office context; they were raised 'nominal' Catholic, where this type - and more explicit - utterances are nearly continuous. They are aware of my position and TRY to refrain (sometimes barely) or change the expletive slightly that they were about to utter so they don't think it is as offensive to me. (It still is) I struggle constantly with what to say that indicates I'm more concerned with their heart attitudes (which show no evidence of changing) than the specific words that they say - or try to avoid saying because I am present - I expect pagans to act like pagans. <br /><br />Might you have some advice as to what I could say, that doesn't come off as 'preachy' and 'judgmental'? It might also help to know that I have children older than the people I work for (they are friends of my youngest daughter and they asked me to come out of retirement to help with their accounting) and, in spite of what they see as my 'religious' quirkiness, I am highly regarded for my work ethic and integrity (they have none). Although I have not directly addressed this issue, I am very forthright in stating my position on any and all topics that come up in conversation or they see in the news/TV/internet.<br /><br />Or should I just keep my mouth shut and continue to serve them in spite of it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
