Today, at the end of worship, I told my congregation, “Go in peace, Christ is irrigating and spreading manure on you.” And they replied, “Thanks be to God!”
So in other words, Church was kind of shitty today!

And now we’re back on track with the phrase “we’re all just trying to half-ass our way to glory.”

I love being in workshops with people who are passionate about what they do. Like, I don’t give two shits about this topic, but you’re loving talking about it, and I am here to share your joy.

It is the second day of Pride in 20-biteen, and I just heard a grown-ass human use the term "mangirl." WTF

Like my Mom used to say, "They talk that way because they don't have anything better to say."

I know it shouldn't shock me anymore, but it still does.

A biblical admonition to "Hey, be sure to pay lots of attention to woke me!" Nadia and her adoring wannabes:

". . .Some people might think that NBW's use of expletives and bad language makes her 'kinda cool'. The Bible would beg to differ.

"We all fail in many ways," the apostle James writes, in the context of taming our tongues.

"But, he says, those who aim to be Christian teachers should make a particular effort to keep their language in check. Few of us are blameless in this. But, equally, few people in pastoral ministry would want to make a virtue out of profanity in print, or in Cathedral teaching sessions. According to Scripture, it matters – a lot."

Any biblical admonition will, of course, fall on deaf clerical ears in the Sola Feels ELCA. They're way too cool to heed the antediluvian Bible.

When one drops a hammer on one's foot, when one has just gotten a third degree burn, when one just learned a loved one has died, those are occasions when a profanity (I think) is acceptable. When it is a profanity in every tweet, in every sermon, in every FB post then it's just inappropriate. Jesus certainly does love us for the sinners we are, but Jesus also calls us to repent and live a new way (for Him) and I think that new way includes using language that is edifying for people and building up the body of Christ. One wonders how swearing (something society does consider inappropriate most times) is edifying for people? One also has to wonder whether this pastor was cussing like a sailor in the call interview? If not then clearly he realizes that swearing is not appropriate. Does this pastor swear when in the hospital comforting someone? Does this pastor swear when speaking to a stranger on the phone? I should hope not so hopefully he will realize that profanity is not something appropriate unless the circumstance is of the absolute and utmost atrocious and even then it should be sparingly used.
