WHAT IS SO F***ED UP ABOUT CURSING??!? by David Lenahan

Being a member of the military, and immersed in a secular society, I constantly hear profanity. Its in our movies, music, and many of today’s popular motto sayings. I will admit, over time it has become easier to my ear, eventually it didn’t bother me, and now I catch myself with these words on my own tongue. Raised in a christian home, I was taught not to curse, or to “watch my mouth”. Now today, I ask myself, “why? Whats wrong with it? It makes me sound tough, cool, and I fit in better.” So I decided to do a little research on 3 of the more popular curse words, and here is what I got:

FUCK: According to Modern English dictionary, it is a vulgar profanity describing the act of sexual intercourse or violent incest. It is commonly used to negatively characterize anything. Used as a verb to display destruction or disdain for something. The FCC (Federal Communication Commission) calls it “an explicit intensifier.” Telling someone to “go f*** themselves” is used and an extreme insult.

SHIT: Listed as vulgar or profane, it means to defaecate. Slang for nonsense, stupid, foolish, or little value. To demote ones words. A contemptible person. Used to associate someone as little value, worth nothing more the feces.

DAMN: Condemnation, condemned by God. it is used to wish someone eternal suffering by fire. And “extreme expression of fierce anger.” To “damn” someone, is a personal curse wishing that God would cause them endless suffering.

In the dictionary, I noted that all of the words, were listed as “vulgar and profane.” I then decided to see what profane means.

PROFANITY: Coming from the Latin meaning, “outside the temple.” Referring to a place of worship, it calls attention to items that do not belong in a church. Using profanity socially is a sign of disrespect, or socially insulting. Not intended for formal speech.

I will let the meanings speak for themselves. Now what does the bible have to say about that?

“But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and FILTHY LANGUAGE from your lips.” -Colossians 3:8

“But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every CARELESS WORD they have spoken.” -Matthew 12:36

“Let your CONVERSATION be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” -Colossians 4:6

“Do not let any UNWHOLESOME TALK come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” -Ephesians 4:29

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in SPEECH, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”

Friends, I felt led to share this with you. If you know someone that would benefit from reading this, by all means pass it on. I pray that the LORD will devote your hearts AND mouths totally to HIM.

God bless,

“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.” -Psalm 19:14

How do you know who to marry?

Scripture gives three reasons, at least, for marriage. One, propagation of children. Genesis 1:27, He said now you get together, you’re one flesh, now propagate. Replenish the earth. Marriage is not only for the propagation of children; it is for the prevention of immorality. It is for the prevention of immorality. There are some people who couldn’t stay pure, single. First Corinthians 7:2, “Nevertheless to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband.” Get married, it prevents immorality. Thirdly, it eliminates solitude. God said it is not good for man to be alone. Marriage propagates children, prevents immorality, and eliminates solitude. Those are theological reasons. Add to that the fact that marriage is an enjoyable and fulfilling relationship. Marriage was meant to be the expression of the fullness of love. So God has portrayed marriage in scripture as a very honorable thing. Keep it that way. You say, well, John, how can I be sure that I really have a marriage that honors God?

All right, let me talk to you that are not married, for a minute. In number one, the mate you choose. How do you know who to marry? Number one point, don’t choose someone related to you—you can’t have anybody who’s your near kin, according to Leviticus 18.

Secondly, don’t marry anybody whois unsaved. And that is clear in the scripture. Second Corinthians 6:14, “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” It couldn’t be more clear. Don’t marry an unregenerate person. Don’t marry someone who is not a believer. Dr. Pink says, “If a child of God marries a child of Satan, that makes God the father‑in‑law of a child of Satan.” He says God doesn’t like that. And he’s right. Just read about Samson, find out what happens when you mess around with someone who’s not a believer. And if that doesn’t do it, read about Solomon. And if that doesn’t do it, read about Ahab. Marry somebody who is saved.

Thirdly, not only not near kin, the Bible says, not unsaved, thirdly, marry somebody in the Lord. What does that mean? In the perfect will of God—obviously a believer—but totally in the will of God. You say, well, those are general. How do you know who’s the right one? All right, I’m going to give you some good little keys.

One, reputation. Make a value judgment on the basis of their reputation. Proverbs 22:1 says, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Don’t pick out the rich one, pick out the one with the good reputation. What do other people think of the individual? It’s very important, reputation.

Secondly, appearance. You say appearance? What am I supposed to avoid? Two things the Bible says, a wanton look. You knew what a wanton look is? You know what it is! Second thing, a proud look. Isaiah 3:9 says, “The show of their appearance does witness against them.” Watch what somebody looks like. Can you tell a proud look? You can. Can you tell a wanton look? Sure. Reputation, and appearance.

Third thing, speech. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” What do they talk about? What’s the conversation?

Fourth, clothes. You say clothes? That’s right—modesty. If clothes are vulgar, if clothes are showy, then the heart is vain. First Timothy 2:9. Read it; it’s right there. Women are to be adorned with a quiet spirit in meekness and humility.

Lastly, companions. Reputation, appearance, speech, clothes, and companions. And you’re going to find out a lot about them. Who does he keep company with? Who does she keep company with? Remember the old adage, birds of a feather flock together. A person is known by his company, read Psalm 1, it’s all there, isn’t it? Now, on top of that, let me say, don’t expect perfection. Those are all good principles, but if you look too long, you may pass the day of grace. And just remember that a sweet apple can have a worm. Now that’s to begin with in the terms of the choice. That’s just basic thought.
