As the adage goes; ‘silence is golden’, the following is a list of 20 situations where it is better to be silent:

1. Be silent – in the heat of anger.

2. Be silent – when you don’t have all the facts.

3. Be silent – when you haven’t verified the story.

4. Be silent – if your words  will offend a weaker person.

5. Be silent – when it is time  to listen.

6. Be silent – when you are  tempted to make light of  holy things.

7. Be silent – when you are tempted to joke about  sin.

8. Be silent – if you would be ashamed of your words later.
9. Be silent – if your words  would convey the wrong impression.

10. Be silent – if the issue is  none of your business.

11. Be silent – when you are  tempted to tell an  outright lie.

12. Be silent – if your words  will damage someone  else’s reputation.

13. Be silent – if your words  will damage a friendship.

14. Be silent – when you are  feeling critical.

15. Be silent – if you can’t  say it without screaming.

16. Be silent – if your words will be a poor reflection of the Lord or your  friends and family.

17. Be silent – if you may  have to eat your words later.

18. Be silent – if you have  already said it more  than one time.

19. Be silent – when you are  tempted to flatter a  wicked person.

20. Be silent – when you are  supposed to be working instead.
