Just because you have the opportunity to 
state your thoughts or critique others doesn’t 
mean you should.

2
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:17,900
Trumpeting your beliefs without filter is 
usually done from a selfish motive of wanting 
to be heard;

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,700
as a result, it can grate people the wrong 
way.

00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,500
Ravi Zacharias went so far as to say

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:31,500
that “a conviction unguarded by love will 
make the possessor of them obnoxious

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,100
and the dogma he possesses repulsive.”

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:40,600
Today’s society doesn’t need people who demean 
others when they happen to believe differently.

8
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,000
People are worth much more than that.

9
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:48,700
When people want to hear your thoughts, that’s 
the time to share—because it benefits them.

00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,700
Let wisdom always guard your words. I’m Mac
