We often dismiss questionable humor, foul language, or sexual innuendo by saying, "I was only joking!" but Proverbs 26:19 has a strong warning for those who use that excuse. Ephesians 5:4 commands that there be no "foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place," listing them as "improper for God’s holy people." This video examines why this type of speech has no place in the life of a follower of Christ, why we must bridle the tongue, and how our mouths, once dedicated to sin, must become "instruments of righteousness" for God's glory.
