There are many times when you should be laconic—keep your mouth shut. Here are a few reasons. When you are angry or tempted to lie. “A short-tempered person acts stupidly and the person who plots evil is hated” (Prov 14:17). When you are tempted to pervert or twist the truth. Satan is the greatest twister of the truth in the world. Keep your mouth shut when you are tempted to straighten out a fool or speak without having all of the facts. Your job is to re-present Christ, not try to correct others. “Those who are wise store up knowledge but the mouth of a stubborn fool invites ruin” (Prov 10:14). Another reason to be laconic is when you are tempted to say more than you should. “Sin is unavoidable when there is much talk but whoever seals his lips is wise” (Prov 10:19). “The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin” (Prov 13:3).
