If you follow Christ, this is probably more directed at you then those who don't. Sorry.
What the heck?? Does a complacent Christian even exist?? This is how wordweb.com defines complacent: contented to a fault with oneself or one's actions. Umm ... yea.
I've seen a number of far older & far more mature Christians just peppering their conversations with swearing (and not even feeling bad, or feeling sorry.)
Hello?? 'Hate what is evil, cling to what is good.' Romans 12:9.
1 Peter 2:12 says: 'Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.'
Some would argue that the bible never mentions swear words specifically Firstly: thats a stupid argument. Secondly: ... DUH!! The bible was written 2000+ years ago, and most swear words came about 40 years ago.
Again, some would argue that its all about the intention, I would bring them back 1 Peter 2:12. How would a non-Christian react to someone blurting out swearing. Would it bring glory to God, or detract from it??
Sorry, my thoughts aren't collected, but I hope you understand.
