I came across this promotional video for the 2008 Desiring God National Conference.  It gives good insight into how we are to determine what is appropriate language.  WARNING : It contains some four-letter-language that isn’t always appropriate to  teach its point.

The bottom line : the ultimate determinant for proper language isn’t vocabulary, for even “acceptable” words can be used with improper intent/motive.  Instead, whatever we say, we are to say it for the redemptive good of another.  This definitely calls for an even higher standard of speech than we are used to.  Think back even upon the past 24 hours…has your speech been inappropriate?

On another note, I think the ICC staff is going to try to make it to this conference.
