Can I control my language?

Much of Christianity has made Sunday morning into an extra special ritual called "the worship." I've heard it said that it's impossible to control your language—by those who control it just fine "at church" during "the worship."  Yet if a person can control his mouth at church for the "worship hour," he can certainly control it the other 167 hours of the week.
