I'm ready. 197 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:50.519 Wow, okay, wow, super exciting this man speaking of being 198 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.919 uh oh jeezh you have. 199 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:54.879 An hour one on this one. 200 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.600 I didn't look ahead. Well. 201 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.279 One of my favorite things about the great, big giant 202 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.759 Thanksgiving dinners. When you're done, you just go out and 203 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.840 pass out in front of the TV, right right. 204 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:04.919 Being lazy. 205 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.519 Yeah, and the one of the verses here is talks 206 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:09.840 about being a lazy bones. 207 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.879 That was a terrible transition. But I didn't have which 208 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:14.279 is the goal. 209 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:14.799 That's the goal. 210 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:19.480 Anything work on that. Listen, we apologize to our viewers, 211 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.639 and tomorrow we will be prepared for the better transition. 212 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:28.840 Will we will we though, Okay, we'll see, We'll see. 213 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.360 Okay, So we are in Proverbs chapter six. 214 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.159 All we're doing is we're trying to trying to inform 215 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.960 ourselves of the practical wisdom of King Solomon. And a 216 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.200 lot of times, for me as a kid, I felt 217 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.480 like reading Solomon was very similar to reading like the 218 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.159 clever thoughts of Mark Twain or the clever thoughts of 219 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.919 Benjamin Franklin when he was writing Port Richard's Almanac. 220 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:52.200 Or something like that. 221 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.279 You know, a penny saved is a penny earned kind 222 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.320 of a thing, right, It feels that way, where Solomon 223 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.080 just drops these nuggets of really smart things that if 224 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.399 you apply them. The difference is Solomon has like the 225 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.639 keys to real life, and you know, Mark Twain and 226 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.440 ben Franklin seemed to be just clever, and there's a 227 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.240 big difference in being wise and being clever. Right, So anyways, 228 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.600 Proverbs chapter six, verse one says, my child, if you 229 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.240 put up security for a friend's debt or agreed to 230 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.840 guarantee the debt of a stranger. If you've trapped yourself 231 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.679 by agreement and are caught by what you said, follow 232 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:31.399 my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself 233 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.759 at your friend's mercy. Now swallow your pride, go and 234 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.000 beg to have your name erase. Don't put it off, 235 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.360 do it now, don't rest until you do. Save yourself 236 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.000 like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird 237 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.120 fleeing from a net. Then he says, take a lesson 238 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.000 from the ants, You lazybones, learn from their ways and 239 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.879 become wise. Though they have no prince or governor or 240 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.720 ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, 241 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.840 gathering food for the winter. But you, lazy bones, how 242 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.200 long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A 243 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.720 little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding 244 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.480 of their hands to rest. Then poverty will pounce on 245 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.240 you like a bandit. Scarcity will attack you like an 246 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.480 armed robber. What are worthless and wicked people like? They're 247 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.679 constant liars, signaling their deceit with the wink of an eye, 248 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.799 a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers. 249 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.679 Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble, 250 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.679 but they will be destroyed, suddenly broken in an instant, 251 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.120 beyond all hope of healing. There are six things the 252 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:32.080 Lord hates no. Seven things he detests haughty eyes, a 253 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.000 lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots, evil, 254 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.960 feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who 255 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.519 pours out lies, and a person who sows discord in 256 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.240 a family. My son, obey your father's commands, and don't 257 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.159 neglect your mother's instructions. Keep their words always in your heart. 258 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.960 Tie them around your neck when you walk. Their counsel 259 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.960 will lead you when you sleep, they will protect you. 260 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.759 When you wake up, they will advise you. For their 261 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.559 command is a lamp, and their instruction a light. Their 262 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.559 correct discipline is the way to life. It will keep 263 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.960 you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of 264 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.919 a promiscuous woman. Don't lust for her beauty, don't let 265 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.799 her coy glances seduce you. For a prostitute will bring 266 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.200 you to poverty, But sleeping with another man's wife will 267 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.120 cost you your life. Can a man scoop a flame 268 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.440 into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire? 269 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.240 Can he walk on hot coals and not blister his feet. 270 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.120 So it is with the man who sleeps with another 271 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.360 man's wife, he who embraces her will not go unpunished. 272 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.480 Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because 273 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.120 he's starving, but if he's caught, he must pay back 274 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:33.840 seven times what he stole, even if he has to 275 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.200 sell everything in his house. But the man who commits 276 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.200 adultery is an utter fool. For he destroys himself, he 277 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.159 will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased. 278 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.600 For the woman's jealous husband will be furious, and he 279 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.039 will show no mercy when he takes revenge. He will 280 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.720 accept no compensation nor be satisfied with the payoff of 281 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:50.320 any size. 282 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:55.879 Woo. So being in ministry for so long and you know, 283 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.960 will always make fun and say we're old, right, even 284 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.759 though we're not old right, you're old, Yeah, you're old. Hey, 285 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.360 I'm only six weeks older. 286 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.519 Than you, way older, but the uh. 287 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.440 But you know, having been a ministry so long, you 288 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.799 can see this play out in so many lives. Oh, 289 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.080 I can't even tell you the number of people who 290 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.279 I've had conversations with in fact, I don't think I 291 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.440 even know of a story where adult tree is involved 292 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.639 where it doesn't end badly, right, it just ends, it ends. 293 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.840 It's always so drama filled and and yes, in some 294 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.679 cases could be absolutely dangerous. But you know, I love 295 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.559 how Solomon says, can a man scoop a flame into 296 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.919 his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire? 297 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.960 Can you walk on hot coals and not blitcher his feet? 298 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.679 And he's like, so it is, and of course the 299 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.320 answer is no. 300 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.200 And what he's playing with fire? 301 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.840 Yes, he's he's saying, he's saying, do you not understand 302 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.360 that it's going to end badly? And he's and then 303 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.720 he's making the visual aid comparison of saying, it's just 304 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.559 as if you can't do this, yuess, well, you can't 305 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.159 commit adultery with an other man's wife. And guess what, 306 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.399 he's not gonna forgive and it's gonna you're gonna you're 307 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.960 gonna die, basically, and and and and even even compares 308 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.600 to this stealing. He's like, hey, he's like even a thief, 309 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.240 even a thief can get away with it if he's starving, 310 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:16.919 even though he's gonna have You know, I have a 311 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.440 huge consequence. He's gonna pay back seven times if he 312 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.759 gets caught. But guess what's gonna happen if you get caught, right, 313 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.600 It's it's gonna end badly. So I mean, it feels 314 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.159 like there's like ten verses here that uh, you know, 315 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.720 really uh warn us against that, you know, just the 316 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.679 idea of what God hates. And here's the here's my 317 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.960 second thought. My second thought is I always found it 318 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.360 super weird that every time I come across this verse 319 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.320 where he says there are six things the Lord hates, no, no, no, 320 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:53.519 just kidding, seven seven things he detests, and then he 321 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:57.159 lists seven things obviously that are bad. But then I think, oh, really, 322 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.360 God doesn't hate eight things. God doesn't hate nine. So 323 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.039 I'm thinking, what's so special about these seven things? You know? 324 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:09.600 Well, all of these things are called an abomination in 325 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.600 the Bible, So an abomination means they make God want 326 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.720 to vomit. So there aren't very many. There's a couple 327 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.080 more that I mentioned in the Bible. So that's a 328 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:23.000 poetic mechanism in Hebrew where he starts off saying they're sixteen, 329 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:27.799 no seven, right, So it's a poetic like get your 330 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:28.960 attention kind of thing. 331 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:30.159 You know what? 332 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.080 That runs me of mel Brooks in the Meeting of Life. 333 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.840 At the very beginning of the movie, he pretends to 334 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.320 be Charlton Heston in that famous movie. He walks down 335 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.360 the mountain and he looks just like Tarlton Heston. He's 336 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.159 dressed up. Mel Brooks course is just hilarious. He's starting 337 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.440 three stone tablets and he goes, God brings you these 338 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.720 fifteen and then one falls and drops and he goes, ooh, 339 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:55.759 ten ten comments for all the people to obey, and 340 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.320 it's hilarious. It's like it's like six none of seven. 341 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.440 Yeah, So that's it's a poetic mechanism that he's using 342 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.440 there for that. So, but the things he talks about, 343 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.600 the God hates hot haughty eyes, that's just pride, right, 344 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.159 that's what he's talking about there. A prideful look is 345 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:16.320 usually what it's translated. A lying tongue, hands that kill 346 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.600 the innocent, which in our society that's a pretty significant thing. 347 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.120 A heart that plots, evil feet that race to do wrong, 348 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.879 a false witness who pours out lies, and a person 349 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.679 who sows discord in a family. All of those things 350 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.679 tear apart society, right, all of those, each of those things, 351 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:39.440 and so that's what he's going after there. 352 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.000 Yeah, yeah, I find it interesting that he says a 353 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.519 heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong. 354 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:52.960 Those things are connected to you know, the character intention, right, 355 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.120 They're connected to the inside of a person. You know, 356 00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.840 a false witness that pours out lies. I mean, it's 357 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.559 just it speaks into like a person who's just not 358 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:03.360 a good person. 359 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.440 You know, Well, we can have these things, you know, 360 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.400 each of these this idea, there's a lying tongue in 361 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.039 verse seventeen, and then in verse nineteen, a false witness 362 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.440 who pours out lies. And on the surface, you think, well, 363 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.160 those are the same, he's just repeating the same thing. 364 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.400 But a lying tongue is somebody who's a liar, Right, 365 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.240 You just lie, You make up stories that aren't true, 366 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:27.079 you give answers that aren't legit. Whereas a false witness 367 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:31.599 who pours out lies is that's more of an affirmation 368 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.440 of God's view of the value of the rule of law. Right, 369 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.599 So in court, somebody who comes in and tells a 370 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:44.680 lie under oath undermines the whole process of justice in 371 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.559 a society. Right, So the second. That second one is different. 372 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.680 It's not just being a liar. It's upending the process 373 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.279 of justice, the rule of law in society. And the 374 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:57.720 only way that the rule of law works is the 375 00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:59.640 fact that we choose to believe it does and we 376 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.519 follow it. So even when we're in a situation where 377 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.559 it doesn't behoove us and it actually might work against us, 378 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.079 we still have to if we're going to be civilized people, 379 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:13.480 we still have to choose to under oath give the truth, right, 380 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.880 and if not, all of the rest of society breaks 381 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.839 down at leads to corruption. If you're willing to shoot 382 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.880 a move in court, if you're willing to take advantage 383 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:28.039 of your ability to hide the truth in a public 384 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:31.519 setting like that, that that tears down the fabricous society 385 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.440 differently than just being a liar, right, And so that's 386 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.880 why those two they seem the same, but they're not. 387 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:39.079 And then it's the same thing. 388 00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.839 People who what was it heart that plots evil versus 389 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.319 the feet that race to do evil? 390 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.839 Right? Right, there's some who just love it. 391 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.519 So I was always really tempted by friends who go, jeff, 392 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.480 I dare you especially they double dog. 393 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.200 Dare me sure? 394 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:53.599 Right? 395 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.240 I didn't usually think of dumb things to do, right, 396 00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:59.000 But if my friends dare me to do dumb things, 397 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.039 I did them right. So I was the second one, 398 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:01.839 not the first one. 399 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.160 Well, I'll tell you I was. I was both. Would 400 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.599 we would have a game amongst ourselves, you know, we 401 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.400
