You 104 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.639 know what I mean. It was just a sketch of 105 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.560 you know, cartoon. It was horrible. It was terrible.

Yeah, yeah, 108 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:39.079 I did all the time. 109 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.519 That's great, that's funny. 110 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.720 Actually that whole sequence was from a Jerry Lewis movie 111 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:45.279 back in the day. 112 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:46.920 Yeah, it's very funny. 113 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.600 Yeah, And he complains to the flight attendance, excuse me, ma'am, 114 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.439 I think there's a mistake. Because he's sitting on a 115 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.319 wooden bench against the wall, you know, of the thing 116 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.920 with all these people sitting next to me. He caused 117 00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.519 a flight attendant over and you know, he's playing all 118 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.160 the characters, which is funny. But he calls her, he's 119 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.319 excuse me, ma'am, I think I think there's a mistake. 120 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:05.920 I was I was supposed to be in first class. 121 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.839 She goes, oh, this is first class, and he looks around. 122 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.680 You know, it's the chickens running up and down the aisle, 123 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.319 and hey and all this stuff. He goes, where's the economy? 124 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.279 And she lifts just like a hatch in the floor, 125 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:21.040 and there's all these hands reaching out, impoverished hands reaching 126 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.879 out from the floor. It was so funny that every 127 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.959 time I've ever written on Spirited Lands, I think of 128 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.120 that Jerry Lewis movie. 129 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:27.920 It was horrible. 130 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:28.800 That's funny. 131 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.000 Last time I got on it was I don't know, 132 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.160 fifteen years ago, and I thought, why am I Ten 133 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:33.600 years ago? 134 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:34.759 I thought, why did I do this? 135 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.199 I fooled myself than thinking I was saving money. You 136 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.240 don't save money, and then it's a miserable experience. 137 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.879 So yes, yeah, it ends up being pretty close to 138 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:42.920 what you would pay somewhere else. 139 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.360 I am a very pro business person. I hope businesses 140 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.560 succeed except for that one. Right right, Okay, anyways, but 141 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.279 they're not going man, we're being mean today. 142 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:53.480 They're not going away. 143 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.879 That's no, they won't. They'll survive that like roaches, such 144 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.360 nuclear war and all of a sudden that's is gonna 145 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.639 be left a spirit airlines. 146 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.600 Wow. 147 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:07.079 Okay, wow. 148 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.399 Anyways, we are in episode five sixty nine.

Proverbs chapter fifteen, speaking of speaking of 151 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.560 things that survive for a long time. These proverbs have 152 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.720 been around for thousands of years. 153 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.800 Wow, you know, I always forget that. We have a 154 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.759 cheesy transition. You've done every transition. 155 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.480 Well, I'm just trying.

Maybe I'll do tomorrow. 158 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:35.959 Okay, you do tomorrow. 159 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.800 All right, So Proverbs chapter fifteen. You've already quoted this 160 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.560 earlier this week? 161 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:40.959 I did? 162 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:41.319 Yeah? 163 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.319 It is it like a preview, a sneak preview. 164 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.160 Yeah, well, you can't get too much of the Bible jest. 165 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.199 Yeah, for our listeners. For our listeners, you already heard 166 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.040 quick quote verse one. 167 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.040 Do you want to quote it again? 168 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:54.519 No? No, you're the reader. 169 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.439 Okay, you're fifteen one the reader. 170 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.160 A gentle answer deflex anger, But harsh words make tempers flair. 171 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.199 We could have stopped there. 172 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.399 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the 173 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:11.600 mouth of a fool belches out foolishness. Does that count 174 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.240 for like the first six minutes of an episode? 175 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:14.000 Right? 176 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:14.720 No? 177 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:19.560 Doubt belches. I love the word belches. That describes our 178 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:20.399 first six minutes. 179 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.439 Matter of fact, in the notes, it just says belt 180 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.519 out foolishness. That's what it says in the notes. 181 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:27.040 Okay. 182 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.360 The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both 183 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.439 the evil and the good. Gentle words are a tree 184 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.360 of life. A deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Only a 185 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.800 fool despises a parent's discipline. Whoever learns from correction is wise. 186 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.680 There is a treasure in the house of the godly, 187 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.800 but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble. The lips 188 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.959 of the wise give good advice. The heart of a 189 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.000 fool has none to give. The Lord detests the sacrifice 190 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.240 of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of 191 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.759 the upright. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, 192 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.560 but he loves those who pursue godliness. Whoever abandons the 193 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.600 right path will be severely disciplined. Whoever hates correction will die. 194 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.839 Even death and destruction hold no secrets from the Lord. 195 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.160 How much more does he know the human heart. Mockers 196 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.800 hate to be corrected, so they stay away from the wise. 197 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.720 A glad heart makes a happy face. A broken heart 198 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.480 crushes the spirit. A wise person is hungry for knowledge, 199 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.360 while the fool feeds on trash. For the despondent, every 200 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.120 day brings trouble for the happy heart. Life is a 201 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.559 continual feast. Better to have little with fear of the 202 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.320 Lord than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. A 203 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.639 bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than 204 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:45.639 steak with someone you hate. A hot tempered person starts fights, 205 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.480 a cool tempered person stops them. A lazy person's way 206 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.879 is blocked with briers, but the path of the upright 207 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.600 is an open highway. Sensible children bring joy to their father, 208 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.120 and foolish children despise their mother. Englishness brings joy to 209 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.919 those with no sense. A sensible person stays on the 210 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.840 right path. Plans go wrong for lack of advice. Many 211 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:12.240 advisers bring success anyone who enjoys a fitting reply, or 212 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.039 everyone enjoys a fitting reply. It's wonderful to say the 213 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.840 right thing at the right time. The path of life 214 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.720 leads upward. For the wise, they leave the grave behind. 215 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.559 The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but 216 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:28.000 he protects the property of widows. The lord detests evil plans, 217 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.840 but he delights in pure words. Greed brings grief to 218 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.320 the whole family, but those who hate bribes will live. 219 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.639 The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking. The 220 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.080 mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words. The Lord 221 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.120 is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayers 222 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.279 of the righteous. A cheerful look brings joy to the heart. 223 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.159 Good news makes for good health. If you listen to 224 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.320 constructive criticism, you'll be at home among the wise. If 225 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.240 you reject discipline, you only harm yourself. But if you 226 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.080 listen to correction, you grow an understanding. Fear of the 227 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.039 Lord teaches wisdom. Humility precedes honor. 228 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.720 There you go, Humility proceeds honor. 229 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:11.799 I love that. 230 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.279 It's almost like a just a little add on. Yes, 231 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.000 it's like Genesis one sixteen. He created the planets, oh, 232 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.639 in all the stars as well. Right, it's just a 233 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.480 little ad on that has so much, so much in 234 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.080 those little words. 235 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:26.879 Yeah. 236 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.120 So you know the thing about this is, uh, you know, 237 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.919 it starts off the chapter with I told you one 238 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.919 of my favorite verses yep, and it changed my life. 239 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.480 And I think I've told the story before, so I 240 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.720 don't have to retell it. But I'll just say this. 241 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:44.039 The first time that I discovered that, uh, when you 242 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:48.799 when you diffuse anger with soft words, uh. The other 243 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.279 you know, the other person I literally saw it in 244 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.679 front of me is my brother Chuck, who was shouting 245 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.480 and then I just talked normal, and then all of 246 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.399 a sudden, he went ooh and he de escalated and 247 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.399 went down. I thought the Bible was magic because because 248 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.759 it was the advice I was given by another person, 249 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.200 my pastor, who said try this. And I was like, 250 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.000 that's not gonna work. Like you have any idea who 251 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.600 my brother is, Do you have any idea how many 252 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.000 fights we get in? Do you have any idea like like, 253 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.840 really talking calm is going to work. I literally was 254 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:21.080 just clueless. And then from that point on you realize 255 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.759 that like, there there is there's so much more that 256 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.440 comes with just diffusing a fight. There there's a there's 257 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.799 a character thing attached to it. There's a there's a 258 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.879 reconciliation thing that comes from it. Right, It's it's better 259 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.360 for relationships. 260 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.399 All the way around. 261 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.080 It's better for everybody, uh not to and you know, 262 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.639 and and by the way, it goes hand in hand 263 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:42.879 with uh with it talks about uh, those with anger, right, 264 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.120 are foolish, those who have a quick temper, uh will 265 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.919 will bring harm to you know, everybody. It's just interesting 266 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:56.279 how anger and temper and quick reactions is is coupled 267 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:02.120 with foolishness and and everything bad. So it's really caused me, honestly, 268 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.399 to be irritating in my arguments with my wife. 269 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.120 So if my wife, oh. 270 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.320 That's that's an added bonus then, right, I know. 271 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.120 So, like we'll be arguing and I'll just talk like this, 272 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.440 and and I'll say, well, who's the one yelling, And 273 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.000 of course that's not a good thing to say, no, 274 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.759 you know, right, yeah, and then she you know, then 275 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.559 she hits there. 276 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:19.840 Didn't it say? 277 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.960 One of the ones we read that a foolish person 278 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:22.720 gets beat because of. 279 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.039 His words, right, yes, so the beatings come after that, 280 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.600 even though you said it pleasantly. 281 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.879 Yeah. I was actually watching an episode of have you 282 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:31.919 ever seen Young Sheldon? 283 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:33.519 No, Young Sheldon. 284 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.879 It's it's a great wholesome show and it's about the 285 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.840 Big Bang theory when when Sheldon was young. 286 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:40.200 Anyway, the point. 287 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.559 Is is that, uh, the women were arguing and one 288 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.559 of the one of the sons that father and the 289 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.159 son are eating at dinner table and they're just like 290 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:48.879 keeping their heads down, you know, and the women are 291 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.080 just shouting back and forth, and all of a sudden, 292 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.440 the one of the brothers decides to chime in and 293 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.000 he says, well, that's not what you said. And then 294 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.519 they turn around. They just yelled them like this, and 295 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.279 then the and then the father looks at the son 296 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:01.600 and he. 297 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:06.080 Goes, dumb, dumb, you know, so don't speak up, don't 298 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:07.279 you know, Just to keep. 299 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.559 Your head down, you know. Only he didn't say dumb dumb, 300 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:14.600 I said it lastly. But anyway, that's what Liz. So 301 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.919 what else is in here, Jeff? 302 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.039 Well, there's a whole bunch of things about words, obviously, right, 303 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.840 this is a theme the words really matter. Words, the 304 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.720 Bible says in a couple different places, words have the 305 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.559 power of life or death. Right, Well, you can kill 306 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.080 a relationship, or you can breathe life into a relationship 307 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.440 with your words. You can, uh, And and a lot 308 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:42.159 of it is perspective, Solomon, have you noticed how there's 309 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.320 this or that kind of balance to most of his proverbs. 310 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159 A wise person is hungry for knowledge. The fool feeds 311 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:50.639 on trash. 312 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:50.879 Right. 313 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.279 Yeah, yeah, there's the there's the side you want to 314 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.639 aspire to and the side you want to avoid. Almost 315 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.360 all the time, there's that that kind of idea. But 316 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.480 I think it's it's interesting. 317 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:03.120 Where was it. 318 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.519 I was just looking at verse fifteen. For the despondent, 319 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:10.000 every day brings trouble. For the happy heart, life is 320 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.879 a continual feast. They're both experiencing the same day, right, 321 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:15.000 But a lot of times. 322 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:15.919 It really is perspective. 323 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:19.840 Right, So the words that we say have a positive 324 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:22.399 or negative effect. Have you ever heard any as somebody 325 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.320 say before, if you think you can or if you 326 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.320 think you can't, you're probably right. 327 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.000 Have you ever heard that rame? 328 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.200 No? But I remember the Chucci train. I think I can, 329 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:31.960 I think I can. 330 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.480 Yeah, No, I think it was. It was it's some 331 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.759 famous American guy. I want to say. It was like, 332 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.440 I don't know, Henry Ford or President Eisenhower or somebody. 333 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.519 You know, somebody like that, somebody just I'm going to 334 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.679 pick one, Mark Twain. I don't know somebody. I've seen 335 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.039 it many times. It's a famous quote. If you think 336 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.080 you can or if you think you can't, you're probably right. 337 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.200 And there's something to them, right, I've seen a lot 338 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.840 of it is a prospective thing. If you start off 339 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.279 with that negative. For the despondent, every day is problems 340 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.480 right right. That word despondent doesn't have to mean, you know, 341 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.240 depressed or miserable. It's just the person who has a 342 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:10.440 negative outlook is what it's talking about. If you look 343 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.480 at life from a negative perspective, of course, trouble's coming, right, 344 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.799 But if you're a happy person, if you're a positive person, life's. 345 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.759 A continual feast and there's something. Yeah, go ahead, Henry Ford, 346 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:24.159 was it? Henry Ford? It was my first choice, was it? 347 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:24.360 Really? 348 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:24.600 Yeah? 349 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.200 I said, Henry Ford, or President Eisenhower or whether you. 350 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.440 Think you can or you think you can't, you're right, Yeah, 351 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:30.960 there you go. 352 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.840 That's great, So Henry Ford, I should trust my gut more. 353 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.919 I know. I'm pretty sure Salomon said not to do that, 354 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.679 but yeah, that's fun first thing. So that phrase, anyways, 355 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.399 is it's all about attitude. And so a lot of 356 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.200 what Solomon talks about on the surface is words. It 357 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:48.919 sounds like he's talking about words, but a lot of 358 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.639 it really is attitude. In that fight, if your attitude 359 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.960 is I want to fight, buddy, it's gonna get messy. 360 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.399 If your attitude is I'm not going to fight, right then. 361 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.159 So a lot of it really is the perspective of 362 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.679 the thing. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. We read 363 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.399 that the other day. So if you're the kind of 364 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.519 person who wants to fight, it doesn't matter that they 365 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.679 were disappointed by a thing. Now you just want to 366 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.399 defend yourself and fight, as opposed to if you have 367 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:18.240 the outlook or the attitude of just saying, Okay, I 368 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.440 get it, you're disappointed. 369 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.080 How can I help you?
