You should have seen the expressions on their faces as their jaws dropped, and eyes grew wide with disbelief.  \u201cNot you Mom! I don\u2019t believe it!\u201d I was pleased that I had to convince them otherwise, glad that I\u2019d decided when they were both very little that my speech needed to change. That, and the Holy Spirit got ahold of me. When I was thinking about this week\u2019s kitchen table topic, I was surprised by some of the pushback I received. I had no idea that cursing for Christians was a controversial subject.  No, the Bible doesn\u2019t explicitly say, thou shalt not curse, but as I looked up scriptures about our speech, I believe it\u2019s overwhelmingly clear that God does not want us using bad language to express ourselves, especially in front of those who aren\u2019t Christians. Listen as I share what I learned the Bible has to say about our speech and how we should portray ourselves as Christians in the episode.
