How pleasant the world would be if we…man… would DO rather than SAY!
I almost get to the ‘fingers in ears’ stage at hearing all the TALK, WORDS, OPINIONS, CONTRADICTIONS, ARGUMENTS, TRUTHS, UNTRUTHS, EXCUSES, ACCUSATIONS, DEBATES, and simply all the thundering NOISE created by it all???? Ouch! My whole body is impacted by the reverberation of all the NOISE!! I ‘luv’ Thumper’s rule (Disney’s Bambi movie) which says, ‘If you can’t say ’sumpin’ nice… don’t say ‘nuttin’ at all.’ How awesome would it be if

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matt 5:37
‘ NO TALKING ‘ was the rule of the times. And the only way to communicate would be by demonstration. WOW!! How much clearer would be the communications. How much simpler would be the discernment. Oh, how I long for such ‘peace.’
The mouths of man run twenty-four seven. The increase in earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters might be a result of the massive vibrations caused by the ‘shriekings’ of the earth’s man population (smile-just kidding)! The noise would have to be equal, at least, to the explosive power of a nuclear bomb, the shifting of tectonic plates, or the implosion of a dying star. Hmmmm? You think?
1 Thes 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
(Eyes looking up…hands over ears) Oh, that man would just DO what his beliefs compell…AND STOP TALKING, MAKING EXCUSES, AND JUSTIFYING our ACTIONS!!!
11 Thes 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread (in other words …SHUSH!!!).
1 peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
I am so ‘weary’ of the, theological, scientific , and political debates. Hey…let’s all just ‘SHUSH.’ Couldn’t hurt…you think???
