Jesus will let you know.

This from the link I previously posted:

We have examined three categories of inappropriate speech for the Christian, which is condemned by the Bible: speaking evil of others, speaking evil of God, and speaking vulgarity and filth. Not only is this language denouced in Scriptures, but it further warns us that this type of speech may cost us our soul. Ultimately, I personally doubt that our language will be the primary reason that some people will face eternity in hell. I doubt it will come to that. Because our speech manifests our true heart, it is safe to expect a person with a filthy, irreverent mouth to be guilty of far more devastating sins. Therefore, if we struggle with this sin, we should examine our own hearts, while we still have the chance, and find the root of this evil thought - and then cast it out! Furthermore, we must fill that hole in our minds with noble, spiritual, and holy thoughts.

Please do not forget that our words will ultimately judge us on the last day:
"For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:34-37)
Our words not only manifest who we are, but the Lord will use them as a basis for determining who we really are, and assigning the appropriate reward!

I read it the first time, but thanks for reposting it.

I have it printed and will take it in the voting booth with me, so I make sure to do the right thing.

Go Trump.
