“He that speaks much of himself, or his own worth, hath little of Christ’s humility, and less of his wisdom; for the tongue is a servant best governed by grace.”
–John Owen (1616-1683)

Reflection: How does the grace-filled governance of our speech reflect both humility and spiritual maturity in leadership or ministry?
