Bad Language

Most Christians try to avoid bad language. Few would intentionally train their children to use obscene, foul language, even though culturally foul language has become an accepted part of everyday speech. Movies, television shows, and sporting events have become common venues for four letter expletives. So, there is no question that children are exposed to indecent talk on a regular basis. Seventy years ago, in Gone with the Wind, Clark Gable uttered the first curse word in a popular movie. How things have changed!

In training your children, it is important for you to understand biblically what makes words inappropriate to use. Is it a matter of focusing on the negative? Is there a certain set of words that you should list as inappropriate and correct your children whenever they say them?
