Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"The phrase "loose lips sink ships" became popular in the 1940s. During World War II, enemy spies took advantage of a soldier family's eagerness to proudly share the accomplishments of their son, husband, or father. These spies would become friends of the family, hoping to gain information by listening and taking note of what soldiers shared in their letters.
Although family members had no idea of what was taking place, many passed along information with details of secret missions. As a result, soldiers and sailors lost their lives.
How often do we cause trouble because of things we say? Sometimes we share secrets or gossip about others, say things we really don't mean, or use destructive speech to tear people down.
