Proverbs 10:19 KJV

[19] In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.


James 1:26 KJV

[26] If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.


All people, especially church people, talk way too much, caring nothing about the many sins of the tongue. These sins are given great emphasis in Scripture. Sermons tend to be 30-60 minutes long. Public prayers go on and on.


This is ironic. People's attention spans have been decreasing greatly.


"What Is The Average Attention Span?

The average human attention span is 8.25 seconds, 4.25 seconds less than in 2000."

"Adam Brown, co-director of the Center for Attention, Learning, and Memory at St. Bonaventure University in New York, says there’s good reason for concern: in his view, inattention has reached 'epidemic' levels."
