Don't Cuss (episode 331)

Published: March 10, 2024, 9 a.m.

Exodus 20:7 speaks about cursing God. (Don't do it) But what about our language to everyone else? \xa0

\xa0

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

We honor God\u2019s name (v. 7). The command to not take God\u2019s name in vain is more than simply a prohibition of cursing Him. \xa0Profanity not only reflects a heart darkened with hate, but it shows an utter disrespect for a holy God. The commandment also means that we are not to take God\u2019s name and talk in a way that dishonors us as His reps.

\xa0Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21\xa0

\xa0

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Col 4:6\xa0
