Summary
What does the Bible say about cussing, using crude language, and unwholesome speech? In this episode Costi Hinn unpacks biblical truths that dispel justifications for using crude language or profanity. While many people will struggle with a slip of the tongue or using phrases they quickly regret, every believer ought to make it their aim to please the Lord with their words. Furthermore, those who justify the use of unwholesome speech and profanity have no biblical grounds for doing so.
