"And there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks."
We recently attended a Major League Baseball Game at Tropicana Field for a playoff game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox. The loss of the Rays to the Red Sox proved to be a somewhat expected disappointment, which we were able to deal with (after all, it's only a ballgame). Beyond disappointing, and to the extent of being brazenly reprehensible, sickening, and digusting were several of the male species sitting behind us with cases "Buzzard-Mouth Disease." Undoubtedly, if you have spent enough time in society, you are familiar with this disease that produces gross, corrupt, filthy trash and communication protruding from the tongue and lips. This disease could care less that ladies and children may be present an within hearing distance. By the way, their are no ladies with cases of Buzzard Mouth Disease, only brute beasts speak with such wicked tongues. Of course this disease is not only found at sports events, but those with Buzzard-Mouth Disease can be found at any event today, even a family outting to a local restaurant for dinner. Forty years ago, such talk was apt to cause one to be busted in the mouth! The mouths of many among the world clearly demonstrate the vile and corrupt nature of the heart that possesses them. Jesus said, "out of the abundance of athe heart, the mouth speaks." Your speech reveals the condition of your heart! Sometimes I am tempted to record conversations I have with others, and then present them with a quick replay to reveal the Buzzard-Mouth Disease that has captivated their hearts. Perhaps it's time for you to clean it up, especially if you profess to represent the name of Christ by professing to be a Christian. Christians don't talk that way my friends!
Think before you speak, consider your words before you spew out your rank smelling and disgusting communication. Such vile communication is not pleasing to God and is an offense to any true child of God. If it doesn't bother you, then perhaps you need to "examine yourself to be sure you're in the faith." Sheep should never be comfortable wallowing in a hog pen. We have attended our last playoff game, and will not attend games where certain teams are playing. We will also refrain from purchasing tickets in the Walmart sections where all the drunks with Buzzard-Mouth Disease tend to congregate. Do us all a favor, clean up your mouth, or keep it shut. The smell is beyond the capacity of any God-fearing human to tolerate.
