I remember in my childhood hearing adults telling us kids that if they heard us using coarse language they would 'wash out our mouths'. As Christians, we should be very careful about the practice of dirty talk, coarse language, and obscenity in general. The use of it reveals an unclean heart and mind, and the absence of total reverence to God. The Word of God teaches us that “Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.” – Ephesians 5:4 (New International Version).
Pray today for God's help in order to avoid unclean talk, and refrain from indecent words and expressions in your speech.
