Proverbs: When Wise People Speak

article by Amanda Stiver, Mario Seiglie

Wisdom that sticks with you - straight from God's Word.

“When wise people speak, they make knowledge attractive, but stupid people spout nonsense” (Proverbs 15:2, GNB).

As the Bible says, “For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). In the language of computer programming it’s called, “Garbage in, garbage out.”

What well do we draw from? The well of wisdom based in God's Word or the well of popular opinion that is based in defective human reasoning? What we fill our minds with is what we will think about, talk about and, eventually, act on.

What better way to represent God's way of life than to speak and live wisely and make the knowledge of the true faith attractive to others through our example. 

What do you speak?
