Post the Twenty-Ninth

Pastor Dave, (of All Nations Church College Group) once said in a sermon, "You are not discerning if you are only discerning about what you perceive. You must be discerning about what you SAY".

Here, here!

How many times have you assumed discernment without realizing that where you truly practice discernment should be your mouth?

Experience explains for itself that we have a tendency to say things that would best be left unspoken. How true is it that harnessing our words is one major application of "good judgment"?

I need more discernment in the way I speak, that's for sure. And I really do admire people with eloquence. I respect the people who make haste with patient listening, and reserve their words for an articulate, balanced response.

May the love of Christ alone compel me to practice love by being discerning in the way I speak to others.

Adieu.
