In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise (Proverbs 10:19)

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. (Proverbs 10:19)

 

Humans love to be wise in their own eyes.  They love to give "their opinions".

 

The apostle Paul warns us:

 

I Cor. 15:33-34  Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.  Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God:

 

When we share what God has said to us, we glorify God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

 

Ephesians 4:29-30   Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

 

edifying:  building another person in the faith in God

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

I Cor. 2:4-5  Paul said:   And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

 

When we share our own opinions, often we are trying to bring glory to ourselves and to have other humans praise us.

 

 

Psalm 111:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.
