Do Christians have an old trusty scrubbing brush?
To scrub out your mouth?

- No, because I use no foul language. God cleaned up my language more than 20 years ago. Hallelujah. A scrubbing brush would do nothing if the person's heart is not changed. Luke 14:34,35 - Jesus said, "Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" ~ Note: Jesus' point is that the same is true of a saltless disciple. He will be thrown out. The word for salt also means wisdom and grace exhibited in speech. The word for lost its flavor also means to be foolish, to make flat and tasteless. So watch what you say. Don't be foolish and tasteless in what you say, have grace in your speech. ~ I've seen it denied that this has anything to do about how we talk, but look at this other Scripture with the same Greek word in it, and you will see that is IS about what we say. ~ Colossians 4:6 - Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. ~ That clearly proves salt means having grace in your speech. The way we talk can make us lose our salvation.

- I use cursing to punctuate my run-on sentences. When done properly cursing can become a feck'n art form to be enjoyed by all listening. RScott
