When To Keep Your Mouth Shut?
Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!
Don't open your mouth :
1) In the heat of anger (Prov 14:17).
2) When you don't have all the facts (Prov 18:13).
3) When you haven't verified the story (Deut 17:6).
4) If your words will offend a weaker Brother (1 Cor 8:11).
5) If your words will be a poor reflection of the Lord or your friends and family (1 Peter 2:21-23).
6) When you are tempted to joke about sin (Prov 14:9).
7) When you would be ashamed of your words later (Prov 8:8).
8) When you are tempted to make light of holy things (Eccl 5:2).
9) If your words would convey a wrong impression (Prov 17:27).
10) If the issue is none of your business (Prov 14:10).
11) When you are tempted to tell an outright lie (Prov 4:24).
12) If your words will damage someone's reputation (Prov 16:27).
13) If your words will destroy a friendship (Prov 25:28).
14) When you are feeling critical (James 3:9).
15) If you can't speak without yelling (Prov 25:28).
16) When it is time to listen (Prov 13:1).
17) If you may have to eat your words later (Prov 18:21).
18) If you have already said it more than one time (Then it becomes nagging (Prov 19:13)).
19) When you are tempted to flatter a wicked person (Prov 24:24).
20) When you are supposed to be working instead (Prov 14:23).
"Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue, keeps his soul from trouble." (Prov 21:23).
Remember Saints of God, only when we control our mouth and tongue by the help of the Holy Spirit, only then we can be spiritual enough to control our whole body (Jam 3:2, 8).
Much Blessings....
