Minding our business

Communication is important and essential part of human life. However, excess talks can only be dangerous. The book of Proverbs says,

Proverbs 10:19 (New American Standard Bible)
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Too much talk can lead to sin in possible ways of gossip, slander, accusations and manipulations. The Word of God says, that a wise person restrains his speech, which means, a wise person talks only essential things and in appropriate ways. May we also learn to talk only that which are essential and beneficial so as to avoid possible transgressions...

1 Thessalonians 4:11 (New Living Translation)
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.
