“But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.”
Ephesians 5:3-4
As Christians, these should not be found in us; our attitude to the world should always be “I don’t care what’s going on in the world. I don’t care how everybody else lives. I don’t care what it’s going to cost me.

Jesus said, in Matthew 12:35-36, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.”
Dear friend, you may think that a few curse words and couple of dirty jokes don’t mean anything but they do whether you tell them at the barber shop, on a trip, in an e-mail to friends.

God bless you.
