Christians are encouraged to speak truth, encourage others, and stand up for what is right. But Scripture also places great value on knowing when to remain silent.

Have you ever found that saying nothing was wiser than saying what you were thinking?

How do you decide when it’s time to speak and when it’s better to stay quiet?

For me?

Most of the time ha ha. It’s never a bad idea to be very deliberate before speaking, at least for me. Give my initial reactions some time to mature a bit. Let the Spirit give some guidance.
