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. It's simply a choice not to.
God's not interested in someone that acts differently for an hour per week. Anyone can do that. Instead, he wants you "to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your rational service." (Romans 12:1)
He died for us so that we might live for Him. A tiny fraction of that is embodied in the statement, "For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech." (1 Peter 3:10) Let's keep every hour clean and above reproach!
"For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."—Gal 5:14

Swearing, cussing; cursing.
BQ: If a seemingly healthy Christian is prone to swearing when upset, it reveals a sickness beneath the surface. The words we say when upset are often an indicator of our deeper, truer spiritual health.
No matter how healthy we seem on the outside, "the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil." (Mt 12:34-35)
The truth is, if "from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing...these things ought not to be this way." (James 3:10-12)
