EXPRESSING YOUR OPINION
Pr 18:2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions. (NIV)
What's your opinion of that verse?
Or the NKJV translates it this way:
Pr 18:2 A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart. (NKJV)
How do you feel about that?
Expressing one's opinions or feelings are secondary to listening to the Bible and grasping it's application - a fact which eludes many today in this post-modernistic culture where facts are reckoned secondary to personal opinions and feelings.
One evidence of this is the common phenomenon of people responding before they listen, as it says:
Pr 18:13 He who answers before listening— that is his folly and his shame.
Ever have that happen to you? You try to tell someone something and they respond before they listen to all the relevant facts?
Pr 13:3 He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
