Sharing Spiritual Learnings
The Bible says the gifts and calling are irrevocable.
Even for fun, we shouldn't use negative words and terms like idiot, fool, and so on, because of these Bible verses about the tongue (it's hard not to use them since we tend to use them during times of anger or irritation, but we should try our best to avoid it and other sins too - small and big sins are equally wrong in God's eyes. The Bible says we were conceived in sin so we can't be 100 percent sinless on earth, but to our maximum we should try to avoid all sins):
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. - in James 3
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. - Proverbs 18: 21
It is very difficult to live a true Christian life,.but we should. It is very difficult because one verse in Mathew 7 says like this: For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
This is why it is very difficult to live a Christian life (still, we should):
1 John 2:15-17 NIV
[15] Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. [16] For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. [17] The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

But we should live a life pleasing to God, even though it is very difficult...that's why we need God's help to live everyday.
Colossians 3:2-17 NKJV
[2] Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.[5] Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. [6] Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, [7] in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.[8] But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. [9] Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, [10] and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, [11] where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.[12] Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; [13] bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. [14] But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. [15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. [16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [17] And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Also read 1st Corinthians 13 - love chapter in the Bible ...since love is so much distorted in media and portrayed wrongly regarding most things.
We should not talk unnecessarily since 1 Corinthians 4: 20 says this: For the kingdom of God is not in talk, but in power.
Nothing is impossible with God..so God (only the God of Trinity - comprising the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit - is God) can be anyone (but he is not anyone except the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - except Jesus who is all and in all - there must be a reason for this) and he can do anything.
About Luke 1: 37
Another bible verse asks us to rejoice in the Lord always. Recently, I am watching comedy (without the things God doesn't like) many times a day (60-second comedy videos), second to delighting in God's commandments, and they really help.
