A few years ago, historian John Lukacs spoke on the campus of Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Massachusetts. While there Lukacs was interviewed by ENC professors and said the following about language:"Language is a very mysterious gift from God. In the beginning was the Word. Not the Fact. Not the Picture. Not the Number. Not the Image. It is through words that we relate to each other. It is through words that we can give pain or pleasure to each other. And because of this -- and every historian worth his salt ought to know this -- the choice of the word is not only a matter of accuracy, not only an aesthetic choice, it is a moral choice."Today, we are witnessing an increasing vulgarity becoming mainstream in our modern vernacular. We have always had "cuss words' ', but now we are seeing a justification of it in certain circles of Christianity and even some pulpits. The Bible is pretty clear about the choice of our words and unclean words coming out of our mouths. So, instead of asking, “Can I say bad words without sinning,” we should ask, “Are my words reflecting the Holy Spirit’s transforming work in my life?”In this episode of Keep it 100, we talk about this topic and have a conversation with Pastor of Hungry Gen Church and Author Vlad Savchuk.
