Crass Living and Crass Language

This is just a warning to those who have been influenced by political and other groups who feel free to use crass language.

If there is any crass language even in the introduction I will not consider listening to or watching the video. If there is crass language in the article I will stop reading as soon as I see it.

Crass language is an indication to me that the person using it has little discernment or sensitivity to offending brothers and sisters, therefore I do not trust their wisdom.

Also, If anyone uses filthy language leaving out a few letters to pretend they are not using the word I will consider this lack of wisdom and will not listen. Leaving out a few letters in the filthy language is the same as if you have written the entire word, it leaves a picture in one's mind of that word and that act.

So many people now want to fit in with the world thinking they can justify the use of this language with "plausible deniability" because they left out some letters or words in a phrase. Even if you use only part of a phrase that contains some of the crass language making everyone think in their head about that phrase, you have effectively used that whole phrase.

Whenever I see these words with letters missing or phrases with some words missing that convey filthy language I will stop reading or listening.

Using crass and filthy language demonstrates an immaturity that needs to be repented of to grow in holiness.

Ephesians 4:29 "29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them."

Hebrews 5:13-14 "13 Anyone who has to drink milk is still a baby, without experience in applying the Word about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish good from evil."

Believers please stop trying to fit into the world. Stop trying to be acceptable to the world by becoming like them in your verbiage.

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "…16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

I may lose friends over this, I hope not, but if I do that will reveal the stubbornness of heart to resist correction and it will also reveal how important it is for the person using crass language to be acceptable to the world.

Crass living and crass language are clues of the character of a person.

Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law."

Hebrews 12:11
"For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."

Proverbs 12:1
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."

James 4:7-9 "7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.…"
