Watch Your Language

6/25/2024 / Devotionals

Profanity is a problem that’s easily learned and spread. Even toddlers can pick up cuss words from their parents. Reaching school age, the children have become fluent in profanity. Teachers can do little to curb the habit in today’s permissive society.

Sadly, young children are introduced to more profane language on television, movies and through video games. Teenagers think it’s cool. It’s easy to see why adults use so much bad language. Cussing and cursing has become common in conversations and on social media.

Most people don’t even notice it. Writers put in one or two words in an actor’s dialog or friends speak before thinking. Consider this… When was the last time that you heard a man say this? ‘Excuse my French.’ At least that man sensed that he might have offended you.

Profanity is offensive. It not only offends listeners; it offends God.

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain (Exodus 20:7 NASB).”

He is Holy.

“And you shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the Lord (Leviticus 19:12 NASB).”

Watch your language!

“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person (Matthew 15:18 NASB).”

Cursing can be restrained.

“With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way (James 3:9-10 NASB).”
