A silent moment could be as important as the spoken moment. Here are pointers on when to be silent.
1. Keep silent unless you have something worth saying.
2. Keep silent when you have said enough.
3. Keep silent until it's your turn to talk.

5. Keep silent when you are tempted to be irritable.
6. Keep silent as you enter the church, so God can speak to you.

9. Keep silent when you are tempted to criticize unsolicitedly.
10. Keep silent long enough to think before you speak.
