Recently I read the blog post of a very prominent pastor in the Southeast and was appalled by some language used in his writing. I hope that the had some elders or other friends in Christ who loved him and the Word of God enough to speak into his life about that post and rebuke his choice of words.
The issue of bad language in the pulpit (or behind the podium, or sitting on the stool with bottled water and your Kindle) seems to come up regularly for me in conversation and on the blogs I read. Yesterday I ran across this video by Ed Young Jr. on the SBC Voices website and think it is worthwhile for preachers and those who hear preaching. I am grateful for men like Ed Young who are willing to speak with wisdom on this subject, and for the “cool preacher” crowd, no one is more cutting edge than Ed Young, so he has earned the right to speak on this issue.
