Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Recently I was
speaking with Pam by phone. My TV was on and muted. Crawlers began
showing across the bottom of the screen and as we talked I noticed the
news headlines. One headline really caught my attention and caused me
to groan. I strarted to tell Pam what I'd seen but the stopped myself.
It would not bring grace (cause her to glorify God). It would cause
her to groan inside as I had groaned. I stopped my tongue.
29Let
no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the
hearers. Eph. 4
grace: feeling of gratitude to God
Twice I was tempted to tell Pam the news story. I knew each time the story would bring evil and not good.
Job said:
3Then
Job answered the LORD, and said, 4Behold, I am vile; what shall I
answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Job : 40
Question: If I speak this will it cause the other person to have gratitude toward God?
