Why Type OMW?

I have been asked before, why I use 'OMW' for Oh, my word, instead of the popular 'OMG'. Many Christians would say that they use OMG to exclaim 'oh, my goodness', however the more popular meaning would be using our Father's name in vain.

The Bible tells us that we should be very careful not to cause a brother to stumble and I take that very seriously. We are to be the fragrance of Christ, being an example of His love, towards each other, and towards God Himself.

Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble. (1 Corinthians 8:13 NKJV)

Typing OMG just may make my brother or sister use our Father's name in vain, and so, that is why I will not type it.

There are so many ways we can be considerate of each other, but living our lives in a way that doesn't cause one to stumble is one of the most loving things that you can do for others.

God bless and keep you all.
