Let me think which one. 171 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.120 Let me pray about this one. It would have to 172 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.360 be the number one topical destination.

Okay. 229 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:24.480 Uh. 230 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.879 Speaking of getting some things right, Solomon got a lot 231 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.679 of things right with his why sayings. 232 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.639 Ooh nice, why sayings is what he likes to call them. Yeah, 233 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.120 and I would say that those are right right, Yeah, 234 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:38.519 that's right. 235 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.320 Yeah. 236 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.000 Okay. So its in Proverbs chapter fourteen. We're continuing on 237 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.960 this theme, just going through these one liner why statements, 238 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.679 and he says, a wise woman builds her home, but 239 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.960 a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. 240 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.320 Those who follow the right path fear the Lord. Those 241 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.519 who take the wrong path despise him. A fool's talk 242 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.840 becomes a rod that beats him. But the words of 243 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:07.000 the wires keep them safe. Without oxen, a stable stays clean, 244 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.519 but you need strong ox for a large harvest. An 245 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.879 honest witness does not lie, A false witness breathes lies. 246 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.480 A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it. But knowledge 247 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.360 comes easily to those with understanding. Stay away from fools, 248 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.879 for you won't find knowledge in their lips. The prudent 249 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.759 understands where they're going, but fools deceive themselves. Fools make 250 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.919 fun of guilt, but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation. 251 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.399 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else 252 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.320 can fully share its joy. The house of the wicked 253 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.519 will be destroyed, but the tent of the godly will flourish. 254 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.399 There is a path before each person that seems right, 255 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.440 but it ends in death. Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, 256 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.720 but when the laughter ends, the grief remains. Backsliders get 257 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.960 what they deserve. Good people receive their reward. Only simpletons 258 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.960 believe everything they're told. The prudent carefully consider their stef 259 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.279 is he implying that not everything on the internet is true. Oh, 260 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:10.720 my goodness. The wise are cautious and avoid danger. Fools 261 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:16.960 plunge ahead with reckless confidence. Short tempered people do foolish things, 262 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.960 and schemers are hated. Simpletons are clothed with foolishness, but 263 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.679 the prudent are crowned with knowledge. Evil people will bow 264 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.200 before good people. The wicked will bow at the gates 265 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.879 of the godly. The poor are despised even by their neighbors, 266 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.799 while the rich have many friends. Quote unquote, it is 267 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.360 a sin to belittle one's neighbor. Blessed are those who 268 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.080 help the poor. If you plan to do evil, you 269 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.840 will be lost. If you plan to do good, you 270 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.559 will receive unfailing love and faithfulness. Work brings profit, but 271 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.639 mere talk leads to poverty. Wealth is a crown for 272 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.919 the wise. The effort of fools yields only foolishness. A 273 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:57.919 truthful witness saves lives lives, but a false witness is 274 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.000 a traitor. Those who fear the Lord are secure He 275 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.519 will be a refuge for their children. Fear of the 276 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.480 Lord is a life giving fountain. It offers escape from 277 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.039 the snares of death. A growing population is a king's glory. 278 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.200 A prince without subjects has nothing. People with understanding control 279 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.240 their anger. A hot temper shows great foolishness. A peaceful 280 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.240 heart leads to a healthy body. Jealousy is like cancer 281 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.919 in the bones. I love that one. Those who oppress 282 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.799 the poor insalt their maker, but helping the poor honors him. 283 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.720 The wicked are crushed by disaster, but the godly have 284 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.080 a refuge when they die. Wisdom is enshrined in an 285 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.559 understanding heart. Wisdom is not found among fools. Godliness makes 286 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.120 a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people. 287 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.279 A king rejoices in wise servants, but is angry with 288 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.360 those who disgrace him. 289 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.840 There you go, there you go. Yeah, So thirty five 290 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.080 verses of nuggets of wisdom. 291 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.159 I like to call them wise sayings. That's what they are. 292 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.799 They're they're wise wise sayings. 293 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.799 Yeah, good job, Jeff, that's that's accurate. Hey guy, let 294 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:07.399 me write this down. 295 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:09.639 Yeah, why w I s? 296 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.159 I slow down, professor. 297 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.399 So when you said in verse number fifteen, only simpletons 298 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.960 believe everything they're told, and you said, are they saying 299 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.679 everything on the internet, it's not true. 300 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.559 I was gonna say, or CNN. Yeah yeah, right, so yeah, 301 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.120 pretty much. It's it's so funny, how it's so funny. 302 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.159 How my father, who is eighty he's born in thirty nine, 303 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.399 so he's eighty five, right, And I was trying to 304 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.600 tell him, uh, and again I wasn't. 305 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:47.440 Trying to get political at all. 306 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.039 Right, I wasn't trying I was trying to avoid that 307 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.799 whole you know, everything else. I was just simply trying 308 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:58.279 to tell him that it's interesting how I've been you know, 309 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.720 I've been to Cuba, right, I've been there four times, so, 310 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.600 you know, I used to think that Cuba was so 311 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.039 radically different than America and then and now I'm like, huh, 312 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.360 I mean I know that obviously we're leap years away 313 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.720 from uh, you know, Cuba, but I never thought that 314 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.120 that people would, you know, just sort of control the 315 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.279 information that they wanted to give to their people, which 316 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.120 is exactly what you know, Castro was famous for doing, 317 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.840 just controlling the information that came in. And I said, 318 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.120 I do believe some of that. You know, I'm not 319 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.679 a conspiracy theorist to the maximum degree, right, but I 320 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:31.840 do believe that some of that happens. 321 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.960 Right, You're talking about this between the Cuban government the 322 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.279 Cuban people. We had a belief that the Cuban people 323 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.039 hated us, right, Is that what you're saying. No, no, no, 324 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.159 I'm saying times the Cuban people are really nice people. 325 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.279 No, no, no, government know what I'm saying is I never 326 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.919 thought that America would behave like Cubans.

You know, people in power, they give you 332 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.519 the news that they want you to hear. You know. 333 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.799 Now again it's not it's not anywhere near.

So my youth pastor said that that was a 368 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:34.799 youth ministry verse. 369 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:35.920 Did Iver say this? 370 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:36.960 Okay? 371 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.599 So he said, uh, without auction, the stable stays clean. 372 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.880 He said, you know what he goes without teenagers. Your 373 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.759 carpet stays clean without teenagers. He said, teenagers are messy, 374 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.880 and when you have like a really thriving youth ministry 375 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.680 in a church. 376 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.759 And our church was a smaller church. It was a 377 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.640 couple hundred people. 378 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.799 So he said, you know, without teenagers, he said, everything 379 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.079 would be you know, there's not butter stuck on the 380 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.880 ceiling from a gay right, he's you know, he says, 381 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:04.480 you know, without without ox, and the crib is clean. 382 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.200 He said, imagine in a farm. He said, you had 383 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.000 no ox, he said, there'd be nothing to clean in 384 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.279 the stall. He said, it'd be perfect, and you would 385 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:17.119 have a nice, perfect stall. He said, but much increase 386 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.240 comes from the strength of the ox. And he talked 387 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.400 about the driving force of a youth ministry, because when 388 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.240 a youth ministry is on fire and it's strong and 389 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.480 it's going forward, he said, yeah, it's messy, but how 390 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.880 much can it do for the Kingdom of God? Because 391 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.519 teenagers on fire from God can light the world on fire. 392 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:34.720 So that was it. 393 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.559 That's that's essentially my view of it as well, only 394 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.240 I was thinking of it as the big picture, the 395 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:43.000 whole ministry in general. Anything worth doing is probably going 396 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.839 to be a little messy, right, And so there there's 397 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.839 the kind of person who wants control first managed first, 398 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.680 and and and you and I know people who tend 399 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.000 to take every idea and scale it back to what 400 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.000 is manageable, right, to keep it neat and buttoned up 401 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.359
