Select our Words: What is Fitting? 1.Ask yourself: Is this occasion a time for… Silence? (Eccl. 3:1,7) Listening? (Prov. 18:13) Giving space? (Prov. 27:14) Letting the other person shine? (Prov. 15:23) Chit-chat? Then encourage (Heb. 10:24) Business? Then operate in truth (Prov. 21:6) Celebration? Don’t instruct, brag or talk tragedy Sadness? (Prov. 12:25, Rom. 12:15)

Say Only What Will Benefit 1.When you speak, bless. Refresh people (Prov. 10:11) Give them something valuable (Prov. 10:20) 2.Choose words that are a blessing in… Content: words whose meanings fit the need Package: in a form that is pleasing (Prov. 25:11)
