Far too many young people are using the F word as a creative expression without consequence.
This must stop.
The F word is a vulgar word that perverts the gift of sex God has given us and uses it to express a negative feeling. Nothing about that sounds like something a Christian should be involved in. However, many Christians are 
using the F word or expressions containing it (such as “FML” – F*** My Life; “WTF” – What The F***) like there is no big deal about it.
But everyone is doing it.
Sure, lots of non-Christians people use the F word. But I would expect nothing less from them. They don’t know Jesus, so they don’t care about offending Him by distorting His gift to us.
But those that say Christ is their Lord, go to church, attend Bible studies, and wear Christian apparel, and still use the F word are grossly misrepresenting themselves and offending God.
How can you say that Christ saved your life but not see the problem with twisting a sacred gift He gave you to express your negative feelings? If someone really saved your life, wouldn’t you do everything you could to please them?
The Bible says that “Perverse talking and course jesting” is not a part of a Christian’s life. If you are going to claim Christ then stop cussing, and by all means, stop using one of the most perverse words in all the English vocabulary. If you can’t stop cussing and use the F word, then consider not claiming Christ because maybe you are just playing Christianity to appease someone (your parents? Youth pastor? Christian friends?).
But let’s be honest – you know the truth about Christ, so please accept it and start living like it. He died for your soul. Isn’t that worth cleaning up your mouth?
Furthermore, don’t use the F word toward the life God has given you in expressions like “FML”. Not only has He given you the gift of sex (which you will someday enjoy within marriage), but He gave you the gift of life. Why would you, even if you were gravely embarrassed, start cursing the life you’ve been given? You don’t deserve that life in the first place, yet alone the spiritual life He’s breathed in your soul. You have that life by God’s grace. Don’t curse it. Praise God for it.
The F word should not be a part of a believer’s vocabulary. Period. He created your tongue, your life and sex – respect all of these by cleaning up your language, tweets, texts and posts.
