Profane Language Is an Offense
StoryHistorical Account★★★★Woodrow Wilson once told the story of a time when a man of profane language cursed in the presence of the president’s father, a clergyman. “I beg your pardon,” the man said to the clergyman. “Oh, sir, you have not offended me,” Wilson reported his father as having said. “All profane language is an offense toward him whose name is profaned.” PROSPERITY
The point
Woodrow Wilson tells of a man who cursed in front of his father, a clergyman, and the father's gentle rebuke that profane language offends God, not the listener.
