Corrupt Words and Filthy Speech
We must choose our words very carefully, knowing that we will have to give an answer for them in judgment. Christians should never use profanity, curse words, foul language, God’s name in vain, OMG or tell dirty jokes. Those who have a problem with using bad language must strive to overcome this sin.
Walking Worthy: Drawing Lines
It is neither our privilege nor right to draw arbitrary lines for others, in the absence of a sure edict from God. When God has drawn lines, however, we ought to observe them and uphold them and make them pleasant, for they are not burdensome compared to the weight of the cross upon our Lord’s back (Romans 7:22, 1 John 5:3).
The Simple Gospel: Curse and Effect
Educated people have always considered obscenity the haven of the coarse, uneducated and immoral man. It is the language of the drunken sailor, not the poet; of the tramp, not the businessman; of the law breaker, not the law maker. If that is now changing, we are saddened. However, we as Christians must refuse to be influenced by this ungodliness.
