It only takes a few minutes to do something we will regret for decades. (Keith Minear, pastor)
In a culture where speed is everything (faster and faster Internet connections, for example), we can do good quickly, but we can also make colossal mistakes almost instantly. And once those errors are made, it’s impossible to bring them back. Correcting them may take a lot of time and effort, too. So, it’s wise to “think twice before you act once.”
Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. (Proverbs 13:3)
