He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. | ||
| Proverbs 13:3 | ||
| President Calvin “Silent Cal” Coolidge was asked why he spoke so little. “I never have regretted anything I didn’t say,” he answered. How true. We often regret what we do say, but rarely what we don’t say. That is why James said it is better to be a listener than a talker (verse 1:19). It would do us well first to think about what we’re about to say . . . T is it truthful? H is it helpful? I is it inspiring? N is it needful? K is it kind? If what you’re speaking is all of those things, go ahead and speak. Otherwise, keep quiet. Pastor Jon Courson. | ||
