The output of talk in the world is staggering. Even our Lord, who warned "that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment" (Matt. 12:36, 37), talked and preached so much that, it is estimated, if all His words had been set down, all the books then in the world could not have contained them. It is estimated that a person talks about 30,000 words a day. That means that you talk the equivalent in words of two lending-library novels a week. It means that you impose that number of words a week on your family, friends, and associates. It also means that during the time they listened to you, they could have read two good novels. Were you making an honest effort to give them their words' worth? |
