The Choice Between
Upper and lower
Case

“The god of this world
Hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
Lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
Who is the image of God,
Should shine unto them.”

2 Corinthians 4:4

UpperOrLowerCase According to the Oxford dictionary, the rules of grammar specify that all proper nouns like cities, countries, and people’s names are always capitalized. For example, the name “Dawn” is written with a capitol 'D' to distinguish it from the dawn of the morning sun. Things of importance are always capitalized as well. Likewise, when referring to the leader of a country we capitalize the titles for 'Queen Victoria' and 'President Washington.' The best example of this in our high-tech world is that while we don’t capitalize 'computer' or 'cell phone,' we DO use a capital “I” when writing the word Internet.

However on the contrary there are some who write the case letter for God with a lower case 'god' and Bible with a lowercase 'bible.' These are not simply mistakes in English grammar, but as today’s scripture reminds us are a blinding to and a lack of respect of not only who GOD IS, but also to the importance of his WORD.

The case that is used in defining the supreme being and his words to the world are a CHOICE, and how you scribe these two words is an indicator of how you honor (or don’t honor) them as to your personal importance.

Friend, how do you ascribe the the writing and importance of these two words? And in particular, is this 'god' simply another 'lord' among many gods, or is he LORD of all?
