Colossians 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language from your lips. I find myself all too often hearing Christians using profanity in their homes. This bothers me greatly. Especially when it is spoken in anger to children. This should not be so. It sets the wrong example and leaves these children and maybe others feeling fustrated. If anyone needs to admonish children they should use the Word of God and speak the truth in love. Being stern is ok, but being abusive with bad language should be out of the question!
