Ep. 126: Is It Really That Bad for Christians to Cuss? with Carol Roper

When my kids were teens, I shared with both of them that I used to curse—a lot. You should have seen the expressions on their faces as their jaws dropped, and eyes grew wide with disbelief.  “Not you Mom! I don’t believe it!” I was pleased that I had to convince them otherwise, glad that I’d decided when they were both very little that my speech needed to change. That, and the Holy Spirit got ahold of me.

When I was thinking about this week’s kitchen table topic, I was surprised by some of the pushback I received. I had no idea that cursing for Christians was a controversial subject.  No, the Bible doesn’t explicitly say, thou shalt not curse, but as I looked up scriptures about our speech, I believe it’s overwhelmingly clear that God does not want us using bad language to express ourselves, especially in front of those who aren’t Christians.

Listen as I share what I learned the Bible has to say about our speech and how we should portray ourselves as Christians in the episode.
