Hatred with lying lips

Hatred with lying lips/Refraining Lips

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. (Pro.10:18)

By lying lips, we hide our hatred by pretense when we meet face to face those who we hate. We do not tell them why we hate them. In politics, politicians do not tell their opponents why they nurture hatred against the latter. They shake hands with their opponents but reveal their hatred in the media or by tweets. But, we, the children of God should tell our opponents why we hate them so that the latter may mend their ways. Be what you are without pretense. Do not hide the hatred in your heart by lying lips. Let us not slander by making false or damaging statements. We should prove an allegation by the mouth of witnesses (2 Cor.13:1). Making a false accusation without evidence is an abomination in the sight of God. If we do so, we are fools in His sight.

Refraining lips

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise (Pro.10:19).

Let us not speak much as in the multitude of words, we commit sin by exaggeration or by slip of the tongue. As such, we should be careful with our word of mouth. Nowadays, there are preachers who love to speak for hours together from the pulpit telling long stories. As they speak in the Name of God, they should be very careful in their words. It is better for them to avoid any talking assignments in churches which may entail twisting some hearsay stories or testimonies of others. Carefully prepare your message and do not think that the Holy Spirit may give you utterance during your speech. The Holy Spirit will give you some thought which you have to express in your own words.
