The Way You Talk Q. What is the real problem with using a bit of profanity now and then to make a point? A. The Bible is very plain about this subject. “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Ephesians 4:29) Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34). Words do mean things. And words, according to Jesus, communicate the intent of our hearts. Not only that, but the Bible indicates that one of the characteristics of unbelievers is that their mouth is full of cursing. (Romans 3:14) When we speak words that are profane or filthy, we become like them. The way we use language is one significant way that people can tell Christians from unbelievers.
