“Watch Your Mouth”

Sunday, June 15, 2014

I was wondering if it should be counted as wrong if you are a christian and believe in heaven but use words that are considered bad on Earth.  I'm just confused because some of my christian friends use those words.

Sincerely,

Dear Higher Vocabulary,

Your friends are wrong for using foul language, and just because they call themselves christians doesn’t mean they can say whatever they want.  Eph 4:29 tells us to avoid all corrupt speech.  We need to avoid any and all language that sounds filthy or derogatory – this would include all swear words.
