Description

"Son of a ......!" We've all had that moment of stubbing our toe when we are surprised at what comes out of our mouth. But how should we view cussing? Is it always wrong? What exactly defines cussing? Is it only the big, bad 4 letter words, or is there more to it?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Drew talk through the definition of cussing and how it relates to taking the Lord's name in vain, among other things. Many Christians today believe that cussing is acceptable under certain circumstances, so we dove into Scripture to see what it has to say about use of language and if there are any caveats for swearing. We hope that this episode would encourage you in your faith, but also convict you of sin if you find yourself living in it more than you realized.

The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
