Speech

It is terrible to speak well and be wrong.

–        Sophocles

This is for lawyers, politicians and preachers. Most of this error in speech comes from these three groups of individuals, although not everyone is guilty (especially my sister-in-law who is my favorite lawyer). The Bible protects us from them because the Scriptures are the repository of truth and not the craftiness of man.

1 Timothy 6:20 

O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”

2 Timothy 4:3-4 

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Some always say what the majority enjoy hearing, and they don’t let truth interfere.

Give it some consideration.
