Hiding hatred has false lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. The one who has knowledge restrains his words, and one who keeps a cool head is a person of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. How much wiser is a person who speaks less? Silence doesn't always mean wisdom, and many people remain silent out of ignorance. It's not just about being silent; it's about not regretting what you say. How many regrets come from speaking too much? How many regrets come from not speaking at all? Who says that regretting after being silent only happens once? Every time we open our mouths, there are things we regret. Do we really have to say everything that comes to mind? If we think before speaking, we may not have much to say all day long. So, if we can speak just four words well, we can live a whole day. Thank you. Thank you very much.

I'm sorry. It's okay. Just keeping that level of words, we can live a great day, but if we talk more than that, we always experience things to regret. But it's really hard for me to say this, pastors talk a lot and practice very little. So pastors are noisy. Even when I used to talk a lot in the past, I end up thinking that I came to another place where people talk a lot. So sometimes, I decide to only open my mouth when I preach and try to keep my mouth shut all day long before that. And deep in my heart, I really talk only with God. Prayer is conversing with God. It's conversing with the Lord. Do you all hear my voice well? At those times, you should answer with advice. A lot of prayer is about giving advice. God gives us His words and His heart, so those words are for us.

It is to show how to bear fruit and sprout from within the heart. I hope that you will be able to give holy advice to each other. This is the deep flavor of prayer. How difficult it must be to pray all day long. We keep talking, so if we can change many things into prayer today, the world will truly change. However, what we need to be careful of is this era of social media. Look at people with their mouths open, everyone says something. When you are there, you cannot remain silent. So, we are living in an era where unnecessary words are increasing tremendously. Messages multiply infinitely. Of course, how great it would be if most of those many words were useful. However, most of the words are rough, violent language, and all kinds of insults and abuses towards others, right? Because of what we see and hear.

We don't know how much life will fall apart. At this moment, it may seem like a time when we need to intentionally block our ears and not intentionally cover our eyes. It's a challenging time to live a day if you don't pray in silence while you go. Sometimes, I hope you take time to enter your home, close your eyes for a moment, sit down for 10 or 15 minutes, truly disconnect from the world, and have a deep conversation with God. I hope that you will always have moments to reflect on how much effort we put into refining our words and being cautious with our words. Because the words we say are traces of the past. Have we grown by listening to good words? How have those words influenced us? The languages we contemplate throughout our lives shape our personalities. That's why the word persona in movies comes from Latin. Per means through, and sona means sound.

Humans are nothing special, just traces of passing sounds. That's why we are so sensitive to sound, and that sound can either disturb our day or calm us down. I believe that through the words of God, all of you can experience peace. The noises of the world make us anxious, but when we listen to the words of life, we can find peace and tranquility.
