Cussing lacks logic & maturity
ProfanityIsn’t the languageTo communicateSanity. Inserting crude references to body parts, intercourse, damnation, feces, eternal torment, etc. into a conversation seems illogical and immature. Cuss words are usually spoken from habit, anger, frustration, or insecurity, rarely from logic. The desire to … Continue reading
Wait! Get offended later . . .
There’s no need to be quickly offended. You can always get offended later. Pride gets easily offended because it refuses to see its own faults. When you’ve been tripped up by truth, maybe it’s best not to jump up and … Continue reading

Many use & promote profanity, few voice objections against it . . .
Some people don’t want to hear profanity. Others don’t want to hear arguments against it. Often the words that are easy to speak aren’t the best words to say. The words we speak or write can bless people with hope … Continue reading

Here is Galatians: 5:19-24: “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as … Continue reading

Do you ever cuss to be kind, polite, or humble?
Cussing is unkind, disrespectful, and arrogant. (Nobody cusses to be kind, polite, and humble.) To use profanity is to prefer bitter words instead of better words. Kindness is greatness and you can’t cuss kindness into existance. Know and respect your … Continue reading

Christian leadership & godly character
New Testament leadership trains people to listen to the risen Jesus and releases them follow and obey Him. I wonder if Christians will be surprised when they find out the pastor wasn’t the only one God wanted to speak through … Continue reading
Cussing — it ain’t good for you! (Or your hearers.)
Using profanity ambushes you (and your hearers) with negative and self-esteem-destroying thoughts and emotions. Cussing fills your life (and your hearers) with the same destructive words, repeated over and over. Normalizing profanity is normalizing publicly spewed crudeness, rudeness, and lewdness. … Continue reading
