"...let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak..." (James 1:19)
Francis Schaeffer was once asked what his strategy would be if he had one hour to share the Gospel with someone. He replied something to the effect of, "I'd spend the first 55 minutes listening to them talk."
In the video below, Dr. Mike Emlet of the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation wisely advocates such a position whenever we try to give Biblical advice, and discusses what exactly makes the advice we give "scriptural."
