Take a Break, Honey


Here are some interpretations of the language of a husband: "Take a break, honey; you're working too hard." That really means: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner." Here's another thing husbands tend to say: "That's interesting, dear." It really means: "Are you still talking?" One more: "Honey, you look terrific." That one really means: "Please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving." That's marriage talk, and it carries a hidden meaning, but when we talk with the unsaved, the Bible says, "We use great plainness of speech."(2 Corinthians 3:12) We can't use doubletalk. We must make known the issues of eternity with unparalleled clarity, and the best way to do that is to do what the Bible says. Study the principles used by Jesus, and then imitate Him. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
