J.R. Miller warns against the dangers of excessive and careless speech, emphasizing that many words spoken can cause harm, especially unkind, idle, or rash words. He highlights the importance of speaking with intention and love, as well as the tendency of individuals to focus on themselves rather than uplifting others. Miller encourages self-restraint in conversation, suggesting that silence is often more valuable than empty chatter. He reminds us that our words should inspire and comfort rather than criticize or complain, and that true wisdom lies in speaking less and listening more.
