The Vulgar Language Give You Away

It doesn't matter to me if you call yourself Christian, or that you say all the right things. If you use crude and vulgar language of the world to express your ire toward sin, then I will be deleting you. I will not respond to chats or any other communication that has within it filthy and crude language.

I know that language has changed over the years. Christian are using language that our mothers would have become angry over, even washing our mouths out with soap for using.

In fact most of this vulgar language I am hearing on facebook was not even heard in the culture as a whole just 40 years ago.

Only drunken sailors and disreputable types who were not accepted by decent family members would have used this language.

The use of this language suggests to me that the people using it have been watching unsavory movies A LOT, so much so that they fail to be discomforted anymore by the hearing of it.

If you have reached the point where you are so comfortable with this language that you are not embarrassed to be heard using it in front of other believers, then you are walking in sin, desensitized by all the movies you have been watching.

If you have close friends who are using this language regularly, then my guess is that they are not born again friends. You must stop the use of this language and expunge yourself from the lives of those who think crude speech is "cool", popularizing themselves to fit in with the rest of the unregenerate culture.

Here's the thing; you are using that language because you are watching things that normalize it. If you do not have the strength to watch those movies without being influenced by them, then you must break free from that entertainment, cold turkey.

When we become born again one of the first things that changes is our comfort with the filthy language. We don't have to try to stop it, we just hate it and it drops from our vocabulary. If someone is still indulging in filthy language without a conscience over it, then perhaps they need to ask God if they have ever been born again.

Colossians 3:8
"But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth."

Ephesians 4:29
"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear."

Psalm 19:14
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer."

Romans 1:28-30 "Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents."

Do you want to be like the people mentioned in Romans 1, as a believer this vulgar language should repulse you.

Just saying!!!!
