TONIGHT's Topic: "You Can't Say That On Live TV"
If you watch the news, I’m sure you’ve seen it happen. A reporter will be presenting live or conducting an interview when suddenly, they have to cut away and apologize to the viewers. Why? Because someone used a word that has been deemed inappropriate for the broadcast.
In the United States, government law prohibits “obscene, indecent, and profane content” from being broadcast on radio and TV. That sounds like a reasonable rule, but who actually gets to define what qualifies as vulgar? Each person has a different standard of vocabulary that they find offensive, and each generation develops a new tolerance (or intolerance) for particular language and terms.
When it comes to vocabulary standards for followers of Jesus Christ, our guidelines must be established by something higher than government policy. Scripture sets that standard for loving others with our words:
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (Ephesians 4:29-30, ESV).
I must confess: I like to talk more than I like to listen. I am not always sensitive to the situation. I have flashes when I let anger and selfish ambition shape my words.
We have a problem. It’s harming us, our unity, our ability to grow together, and our witness. But there is help for the taking in the powerful grace of Jesus!
