Subject: speaking out Author: Merv [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:58:17 01/12/04 Mon Louise: There is such a sin as self righteousness and most outspokeness is tainted with it. As far as going around "telling the truth to everyone" God tells us to first take the mote out of our eyes and Roy is the best example I can think of who has reached that state of awareness. There is a time to speak and a time to be quiet when dealing with neighbors and those who have no understanding. And to be right with God, we had better know the difference. -------------------- Merv: This is a true statement. There are times and places where the spirit moves you to speak out. If you do not have contact with the Spirit, it won't be natural to do, the timing will be wrong, and it won't be right. If you operate by rules, such at the rule that says you should always speak out, you will not be right. You may take pride in being outspoken. That is a sign that you are not doing it right. Don't let your left hand know what your right is doing. Merv: Being silent while the world goes to pot is not right either. That is what most people seem to do and the world is a mess because of it.
