On Cussing

Ask Pastor John
Episode: 97

[InChristJesus]

I use to cus all the time. It’s was my form of speech. Through Christ I’ve been able to completely eliminate it. Same goes with alcohol. Praise Jesus 🙌✝️❤️

[Trey_Alexander]

Easy answer to sum it all of the true Christians here, ask yourself this question...If Jesus were sitting in front of you having a conversation with you right now, would you use obscene language when speaking to him? That answers the question. There is your answer.

[southerngirl]

I really like him. He stays true to the word, and delivers it in a loving way.

[fabiancardenas]

If the heart is right, the words will be right.

" Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. " Luke 6:45

[MirButter]

I especially love the advice on praising God and thanking Him as a monitor to my language. So true. Your words are an overflow of your heart.

[amandarecoveryjones]

Wow. I'm struggling so bad with cursing, i needed this. Father, I'm trying please see my intent.

[Blake]

God is with you. Take it one step at a time. God will always forgive you and will walk with you even when you feel like it is hopeless. He loves you, no matter what! Sending much Love ❤️

[nanyummyify]

This was great biblical way to tackle swearing.

[QuantaManitou]

Thank you Pastor! Could not have been better said!!!

[KBalagia]

Cf. Ephesians 4. 29; 5. 5-6.  Your language shows what's deep in your heart.

[johnnyandrew]

The bible says let no corrupt communication come out of your mouth. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Dirty mouths, dirty hearts

[rickmathews]

I love pastor Piper’s perspectives and his ability to humbly communicate them.

[truuuuu]

pray for me yall i need to be delivered from crude speaking and apply the self control that Jesus Christ granted to me 🙏🏾

[amlach]

I need to work on this!
But he is right when you aren't satisfied in your heart then cursing is always at hand. Because you are angry and view your surrounding with evil intent or perhaps rather with bitterness. God help me to overcome this issue through Christ.

[boyeesevilla]

Wow. So well said.. thank you Pastor John!!

[huskysings]

Thank you for putting it this way. I’ve been praying about this a lot lately and this really answered my question.

[kennethMblake]

This is amazing. Thank you for the scriptural references. This helps. Blessings.

[CommandoJenkins]

Cussing is a created idea. Words are just breaths of air, we give them meaning. You think you're getting away if you are not cussing out loud, but you're cussing in your mind. WE ARE ALL SINNERS.

[virginiaescalera]

I think unwholesome talk is gossip, lies, and cruelty. I know people who are pretty unpleasant, but they would never cuss. That would be too ugly.

[jerryh]

When you talk like that and then try to witness to those who have heard you talk like that the first thing they think is why is this hypocrite talking to me about Jesus when he is just like me. I agree with them and so does Christ
