I wonder how many Christians have been “muted” due to meanness. Their Christ is now ignored because their tone was crass. They believe their Faith offends, but it’s actually their flippancy. The world doesn’t care about their Message because it feels no compassion from the messengers. Invitations to follow their Savior remain unseen and unheard because the inviters were “unfollowed” long ago.
They now speak into an Echo Chamber filled only with their peers…bouncing around the same beliefs and unkind tone. Meanwhile, the world appreciates them as much as they would a “clanging cymbal.”
WHAT A WASTE.
“Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.” Proverbs 17:28
“The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction.” Proverbs 16:21
“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1
