There is a time to talk and a time to be silent.
You must have heard silence can not be quoted.
Hear this, silence shouldn't be at all time especially if a life is at stake or if truth needs to be revealed.
There are times when silence is golden .As the british say keep a stiff upper lip.
We can look to the bible for wisdom and direction on when to ,how to and where to keep quiet and when to talk.
when to be silent.The Bible says:-
1. Be silent In the heat of
anger - (Prov 14:17)
2. Be silent When you don't
have all the facts - (Prov
18:13): don't ever judge a matter without facts and truth .
3. Be silent When you
haven't verified the story -
(Deut 17:6)
