Dirty, cuss, curse, and four-letter are just some of the ways we describe those little words that those of us who are righteous and holy would surely never ever use. They are the words that have resulted in countless children having their mouths washed out with various cleansing agents.

We boycott movies based on them. We boycott music based on these words. How do we know if particular movies or music have these words? In modern times God has raised up a select few with a brand new spiritual gift. This gift was not needed during the time Paul listed gifts of the spirit in his letter to the Corinthians, thus it was unknown to him. It is the gift of profanity immunity.

The select few given this gift can sit and listen to countless profanity laced movies and songs and never be affected. They are then able to let those of us without this awesome gift know which movies and music have acceptable levels of profanity. These brave souls have protected countless millions of believing Christians from the symptoms of hearing too many of these terrible words. As a matter of fact they have done such a good job of protecting us there has never been a case of a single symptom worldwide. We don’t even know the symptoms. Would our ears bleed? Maybe they would fall off. Would we be stricken with profanity induced deafness? Or worse yet would it result in God eventually turning his back on us?

I raise a toast to all the profanity immuniteers. Of course I am only using holy and sanctified grape juice that has not even come close to fermentation for my toast. Anyway, thanks for keeping the body of Christ safe from the perils of profanity. My family and I sleep better at night knowing you are there protecting us.
