Opening The Mouth For The Dumb

Summary

The sermon explores Proverbs 31:8-9, focusing on the exhortation to 'open the mouth for the dumb' and 'judge righteously.' It interprets King Lemuel as a type of Christ and also as a call to ministers and believers to advocate for the spiritually mute—those convicted of sin and unable to plead their case. The preacher emphasizes the balance between justice and mercy in intercession and the need for ministers to discern true spiritual conviction from false appearances. Ultimately, the message calls for faithful advocacy and righteous judgment in the service of God's people.
