Don't worry about it. I think it's great that your friends respect your beliefs. And you're not being harmed by not hearing swear words.

I know your dilemma. I have gone through the same stuff. There used to be a record album by Scott Wesley Brown entitled "I'm not religious, I just love the Lord". But, hey, if your life shows forth the love of Christ and if that makes people stop swearing or doing bad stuff in your presence, that ain't a bad thing! Let your light shine!! If questioned, point people to Jesus!! And don't be ashamed of being different!!
I think I should say it again: Don't be ashamed of being different, of living for God!!!

You need say nothing. If they do not use bad language around you then you are doing them a big favor. People are always using bad language but there is no stopping any one so. It is good cause you are no belittled because you are following Jesus and the Lord Jesus

Man, are you hooped.
You're walking a fine line.
You are on the verge of good or evil.
It's a test. He's always testing you.
God's a freak about tests. He's got to find out about your heart. You say you love Him, now He wants you to put your money where your mouth is. What's more important to you, your reputation with your friends, or Him?

The difference is this: Imagine if you will a servant setting the table in preparation for her masters dinner.... getting everything just so. The master ordering her to do this or that.
After everythings just right he dismisses her without any care.
Now imagine a woman preparing the same setting for her husband. She does so delightfully and for no pay... for you see her husband cherishes her and helps her; he tells her he loves her and she him, for he is the apple of her eye and she his. I hope this paints a pretty good picture for you...~GODBLESS YOU MISS~
