People who rage out

Some people are always raging out. They are to be avoided, not esteemed.

 


 

In our day, many professing Christians esteem the views of the people who rage out the loudest. For example, angry news commenters and outspoken politicians.

They make people afraid. They stir fear in the hearts of people. They are dangerous to a society.

 

Proverbs 9:7. He who corrects an arrogant man earns insult; and he who reproves a wicked man incurs opprobrium. (NAB translation)

 

Sirach 8:3. Contend not with a man that is full of tongue, And heap not wood upon his fire.

Sirach 9:18. A man full of tongue is dangerous in his city; And he that is headlong in his speech will be hated.

Sirach 27:12. Among men void of understanding observe the opportunity; But stay continually among the thoughtful.

 

Matthew 7:6. Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
