A recent Wall Street Journal article highlighted that Sentieo, a financial-intelligence platform, found that expletives in transcripts of quarterly earnings calls, investor conferences and shareholder meetings rose to a five-year high in 2021.
The article went on to discuss pros and cons of using foul language in the workplace, but some of the article focused on ways to increase your foul language. I ask, “Why should you?”
In Ephesians 5:4, Paul warned Christians not to have even a hint of impurity. He wrote, “Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.”
As ambassadors of Jesus, we should avoid language that makes others question our commitment to our faith. Replace cursing with words of thanksgiving and encouragement.
