I don’t know about you, but my mouth has caused me more trouble than any other part of my body!
It’s so easy to speak first and then think later. That usually makes for trouble!
The Rotary club adopted this 4-Way Test of speech, and more, back in 1943.
"Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?"
James, the brother of Jesus, said it this way:
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
Now, what I was going to say?
