Title: When Silence is Not Golden


1
  • When Silence is Not Golden

2
Silence is golden
  • Something to consider
  • Often our tongues get us in trouble
  • James 119-20
  • Prov. 1019
  • Prov. 1727

3
Silence is NOT always golden
  • But there are times we ought to speak up!
  • David in Psalm 391-3
  • Jeremiah 207-9
  • Tonight, some times when we ought NOT be silent!

4
We need to Praise God

  • Marketed today in ways that appeal to man.
    Entertainment, etc.

We need to Praise God

  • In our worship Eph. 519, Colossians 316, Heb.
    212
  • 1 Peter 29, that you may proclaim the praises
    of Him who called you out of darkness

  • Col. 317
  • Eph. 520
  • Heb. 1315
  • Luke 1715-17, the leper who returned to Jesus

7
We need to Offer Thanks
  • We live in a selfish society where real gratitude
    is often lacking
  • Sometimes it is a mere platitude rather than
    genuine
  • Sometime people need to hear thank you
  • Let us lead by example and not be silent!

8
We need to Confess Christ
  • Romans 109-10, a part of obeying the gospel Acts
    837
  • Matthew 1032-33, not just in obeying the gospel,
    but throughout our lives
  • Not all confess Him now John 922-23, 1242-43
  • All WILL bow Phil. 29-10

9
We need to Defend the Truth
  • Philippians 117, I am appointed for the defense
    of the gospel
  • Jude 3
  • 1 Peter 315
  • We need to defend our God, our Lord, our
    brethren, His church, His word, etc.
  • Day to day conversations

10
We should Admonish the weak
  • The weak, indifferent and unfaithful need us!
  • 1 Thess. 514, warn the unruly
  • Galatians 61
  • James 519-20
  • Matthew 1815-17, step 1 when a brother sins
  • 2 Thess. 315, he IS a brother!

11
We should Uphold Brethren
  • Some have no problem criticizing, rebuking,
    gossiping, etc. when we SHOULD be quiet!
  • 1 Thess. 514, comfort the fainthearted, uphold
    the weak, be patient with all.
  • Acts 926-27, Barnabas
  • 1 John 316-18 help them!
  • Will we speak up for one another?

12
  • Let us be silent when we need to AND speak up
    when we need to!
