Learning is a constant process. It is never truly finished until we meet our Lord.
"The mind of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning and persuasiveness to his lips." Proverbs 16:23, Amplified
There is a saying that someone speaks their mind. I feel that humanity really speaks their hearts instead of their minds. We often speak out of emotion without thinking of the consequences that our words may have. The wise, however, instructs their mouths on how to speak. The way the verse reads, this can be a child of God or of the world. Anyone can speak with tact or intelligence. Anyone of the world can also learn more and become a persuasive person. What separates us is in how we get our knowledge and how we use our knowledge. The Christian has the same abilities and tools as the rest of the world. It is how those abilities and tools are used to glorify the Lord.
