When Silence is Not Golden

Often our tongues get us in trouble James 1:19-20 Prov. 10:19 “Silence is golden” Something to consider Often our tongues get us in trouble James 1:19-20 Prov. 10:19 Prov. 17:27

Silence is NOT always golden But there are times we ought to speak up! David in Psalm 39:1-3 Jeremiah 20:7-9 Tonight, some times when we ought NOT be silent!

We need to Praise God Praising God lifting up one’s voice in adoration. Marketed today in ways that appeal to man. Entertainment, etc. The Psalms Luke 19:37, follower of Jesus Acts 2:47, early disciples

In our worship – Eph. 5:19, Colossians 3:16, Heb. 2:12 We need to Praise God Hebrews 13:15 In our worship – Eph. 5:19, Colossians 3:16, Heb. 2:12 1 Peter 2:9, “that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness…

We need to Offer Thanks Gratitude for what He has done 1 Thess. 5:17-18 Col. 3:17 Eph. 5:20 Heb. 13:15 Luke 17:15-17, the leper who returned to Jesus

We need to Offer Thanks We live in a selfish society where real gratitude is often lacking Sometimes it is a mere platitude rather than genuine Sometime people need to hear thank you Let us lead by example and not be silent!

We need to Confess Christ Romans 10:9-10, a part of obeying the gospel Acts 8:37 Matthew 10:32-33, not just in obeying the gospel, but throughout our lives Not all confess Him now – John 9:22-23, 12:42-43 All WILL bow – Phil. 2:9-10

We need to Defend the Truth Philippians 1:17, “I am appointed for the defense of the gospel” Jude 3 1 Peter 3:15 We need to defend our God, our Lord, our brethren, His church, His word, etc. Day to day conversations

We should Admonish the weak The weak, indifferent and unfaithful need us! 1 Thess. 5:14, “warn the unruly…” Galatians 6:1 James 5:19-20 Matthew 18:15-17, step 1 when a brother sins 2 Thess. 3:15, he IS a brother!

We should Uphold Brethren Some have no problem criticizing, rebuking, gossiping, etc. – when we SHOULD be quiet! 1 Thess. 5:14, “comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.” Acts 9:26-27, Barnabas 1 John 3:16-18 – help them! Will we speak up for one another?

Let us be silent when we need to AND speak up when we need to!
