Here’s a thought concerning the controversy surrounding comedian, Kevin Hart, and Kyler Murray, Heisman Trophy winner, concerning their past tweets.
I’m not justifying what was tweeted, nor am I taking a position on how long ago the tweets were made, or the age when the tweet were made.
My position is this: Stop posting inappropriate and unkind things – PERIOD. It shows disrespect to the party; it undermines your intelligence; and it could publicly injure your integrity. There will always be someone willing to dig up your past to treat you like ‘the woman caught in adultery’, but in today’s society you may not find forgiveness. YOUR INAPPROPRIATE POSTS WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU.
Before you post, you should definitely T.H.I.N.K.:
T – is it True?
H – is it Helpful?
I – is it Inspiring?
N – is it Necessary?
K – is it Kind?
Matthew 12:37, Ephesians 4:29, and James 4:11–12 advise and caution us about the spiritual consequences of our irresponsible use of words.
As Believers, we should practice the words of Apostle Paul, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”, Phil 4:8.
