Oh yeah, yeah, it was Solomon? 127 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.319 Solomon, So so in this way we should read some Proverbs. 128 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.639 In this small way, you are sort of like. 129 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.519 Solomon, Yes, Solomon, and Jeff Solomon of old I wonder 130 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.639 if you like chicken nuggets. 131 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.720 I bet you he did.

I know when that was invented. 143 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:46.920 It was during slavery times. 144 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.720 Really, yeah, you don't think they were doing it beforehand? 145 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:50.759 Uh? 146 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.199 Well, I think they brought it with him. 147 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.639 I hate to say this, but I do know the 148 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:56.319 origin of this. 149 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.959 They were trying to figure out how to bring more 150 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.000 calories piece of chicken for people working in fields. Right, 151 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.480 So they discovered that fryant oil could triple the amount 152 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.879 of calories for people so that they could work along. 153 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.079 Oh wow, right, Okay, it's a horrible beginning. It is 154 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:19.079 a horrible origin story, but that is where fried chicken 155 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.319 came from. 156 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.000 Wow. Okay, well I'm going to trust you on that one. 157 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.160 Yeah, terrible. 158 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.480 So with Hezekiah, he's been digging through the temple yep. 159 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.360 They're cleaning stuff up, yep. And he's deciding to lean 160 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.160 into the word. He's going to find out. And then 161 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.480 you know what he did. But he found several of 162 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.720 the proverbs of Solomon that hadn't been published yet in 163 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.399 the temple. So it says this in Proverbs chapter twenty five. 164 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.360 And we haven't read this one yet, because there are more. 165 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.600 These are more proverbs of Solomon collected by the advisors 166 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.199 of King Hezekiah of Judah. 167 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.120 Oh cool, really well, I mean our goal is to 168 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.720 go in chronological or that's right. 169 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.639 So it's God's privilege, the Bible says to conceal things, 170 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.439 and the king's privilege to discover them. No one can 171 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.639 comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of the earth, 172 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.920 or all that goes on in the king's mind. Remove 173 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.920 the impurities from silver, and the sterling will be ready 174 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.240 for the silversmith. Remove the wicked from the king's court, 175 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.079 and his reign will be made secure by justice. Don't 176 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.959 demand an audience with the king or push for a 177 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.199 place among the great. It's better to wait for an 178 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.680 invitation to the head table than to be sent away 179 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.879 in public disgrace just because you've seen something. Don't be 180 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.080 in a hurry to go to court, for what will 181 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.840 you do in the end if your neighbor deals you 182 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.799 a shameful defeat When arguing with your neighbor, don't betray 183 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.679 another person's secret. Others may accuse you of gossip, and 184 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:49.840 you will never again regain your good reputation. Timely advice 185 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.960 is lovely like golden apples in a silver basket to 186 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.159 one who listens. Valid criticism is like a gold ear 187 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.559 ring or other gold jewelry. Trustworthy messengers refreshed like snow 188 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.000 in the summer, and they revive the spirit of their employer. 189 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.320 A person who promises a gift but doesn't give it 190 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.360 is like clouds and wind that bring no rain. Patients 191 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.440 can persuade a prince, and soft speech can break bones. 192 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.559 Do you like honey? Don't eat too much or it'll 193 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.399 make you sick. Don't visit your neighbors too often, or 194 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.679 you will wear out your welcome. Telling lies about others 195 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.120 is as harmful as hitting them with an axe, wounding 196 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.399 them with the sword, or shooting them with a sharp harrow. 197 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.799 Putting confidence in an unreliable person in times of trouble 198 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.879 is like chewing with a broken tooth or walking on 199 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:40.080 a lame foot. Singing cheerful songs to a person with 200 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.639 a heavy heart is like taking someone's coat in cold 201 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.120 weather or pouring vinegar in a wound. If your enemies 202 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.320 are hungry, give them food to eat. If they're thirsty, 203 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.039 give them water to drink. You will heap burning coals 204 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.039 of shame on their heads, and the Lord will reward 205 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.200 you as surely as a north wind brings rain. So 206 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.480 a gossiping tongue causes anger. It's better to live alone 207 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.639 in the corner of an addict than with a quarrelsome 208 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.840 wife and a lovely home. That's how you know we're 209 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.519 still reading Solomon's writing, Dude. He writes this about every 210 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:10.759 fifth chapter, doesn't it. In the Book of Proverbs, good 211 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.559 news from far away is like cold water to the thirsty. 212 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.559 If the godly give in to the wicked, it's like 213 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.159 polluting a fountain or muddying a spring. It's not good 214 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.759 to eat too much honey, and it's not good to 215 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.080 seek honors for yourself. A person without self control is 216 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.480 like a city with broken down walls. Well there you go. 217 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.960 Yeah, So the similes here or these these are similies right, 218 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.279 because there's the word like sure, the similies here are 219 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.519 just unbelievable. Think about all the word pictures that you 220 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:45.120 just covered. Yeah, it says this doing this is like this, 221 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.759 and what a great by the way, I love I 222 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.240 love those. I love those because he takes, you know, 223 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.559 a lot, in a lot of cases, a miserable experience, 224 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.679 and he says like, hey, did you ever Hey, have 225 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.799 you ever trusted somebody who is untrust worthy in a 226 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.039 time of trouble? Yeah? Do you ever chew on something 227 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.879 with a broken tooth? Did you walk with a lame foot? 228 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.279 You know? 229 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.159 The pain of every single step. 230 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.000 The pain of every bike stabbing. 231 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.480 Yeah, Yeah, that's what it's like to trust somebody who's 232 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.399 untrustworthy in times of trouble. Telling you telling lies about 233 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.639 each other is as harmful as hitting them with an axe. 234 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:29.039 That's a gruesome metaphor yeah, word picture right. Yeah, and 235 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.120 so yeah, it just goes on and on and on. 236 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.159 Person who promises a gift but doesn't give it. It's 237 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.240 like clouds and wind that bring no rain, singing. 238 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.960 The promise or rain with no rain, right, yeah, singing 239 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.159 cheerful songs to a person with a heavy heart. Yeah, 240 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.919 it's like pouring vinegar into something after you just cut yourself. 241 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.519 A person without self control is like a city with 242 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:48.519 broken down walls. 243 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.000 Yeah, it's pretty crazy. 244 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.919 Your self control, how you manage yourself, is what protects 245 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.000 you from ruining your life. 246 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:59.519 Yeah about so, so you almost don't even want you 247 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.919 almost want to avoid. Solomon's wife comments, Yeah. Right, it's 248 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.279 like it's like, who's going to touch that with a 249 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:07.960 ten foot poll? 250 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:09.919 Well, the guy who had a thousand wives, he can, 251 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.720 he can touch it with a ten foot poll. Right, 252 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:13.919 he can touch you with a tenant pole. He can 253 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.879 touch the ten milimeter pole. 254 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.720 He does, he does. 255 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.399 All he has to do is just look around. 256 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.799 That's all he has to do. Yeah, it's better to 257 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.360 live alone in the quarter of an attic than with 258 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.639 a quarrelsome wife. 259 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.639 In a lovely home. That is hilarious. 260 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.759 Right, So he's really just saying, it's what do. 261 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.679 You think about it? You should? 262 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.480 You should explain it a quarrelsome wife. 263 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.639 I'm joking. 264 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.519 Oh, I was going to say, what are you talking 265 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:39.080 about about? 266 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.679 To get in trouble. You know Liz is listening. 267 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:41.600 Yeah, of course he is. 268 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.200 Hey, we all just went to dinner last night, wives, 269 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.639 and Liz was talking about listening and talking back to it. 270 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.000 Yeah yeah, talking back to back, talks back to the podcast. 271 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:56.480 Podcast, Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. In fact, so I would say, 272 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.919 I would say ninety nine times out of one hundred. 273 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.720 Maybe perhaps she listens to the Bible guys getting ready, 274 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.440 because she works five days a week, right, Monday through Friday, 275 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.840 and we have this podcast Fridays a week, right, So 276 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.799 she will get up in the morning, put on her 277 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.759 makeup and listen and I could hear it from the 278 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.360 master bathroom. And a lot of times she'll get up 279 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.879 slightly before me, right, So she has to get a 280 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.200 little bit earlier for where she works. And so by 281 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.360 the time she's ready to walk out the door, that's 282 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:25.879 about the time that I crawl out of bed, right. 283 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:27.840 And it works out because she's in the bathroom. 284 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.720 By herself, right, And so anyway, she will instead of 285 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:36.600 yelling at me in bed, she'll yell at the phone. Right. 286 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.600 But every once in a while she'll like she'll come 287 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.480 in and she'll be like, you know, she'll come out 288 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.039 of the bathroom, she'll say, what were you thinking or 289 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:44.799 something like that. 290 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.080 Well, it's a good it's good news that you have 291 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.759 almost no concept of the meaning or the experience of that. 292 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.240 That's correct. It is so foreign to me. I'm like, Solomon, 293 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.399 what do you mean? Yeah, Solomon, I don't understand this 294 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:02.799 piece of wisdom. What does the Glacis say to the pure? 295 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:09.159 All things are pure? That's so funny? So so yeah, 296 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.639 but I do think it is funny though. But the 297 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.399 other day, didn't I get in trouble? I made like 298 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.919 a wife comment or a woman comment from the stage, 299 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.960 and it was there was somebody who wrote. 300 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.559 In, I can't believe Chris said that for the stage. 301 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.639 Some some kind of sexist statement or something. It was, 302 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.919 and you were just making. 303 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.279 I was poking fun at Adam and Eve, That's what 304 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:29.600 it was. 305 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.600 And I said something like, oh, come on, it was 306 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:39.120 something like, uh, it was it was. 307 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.200 It was something about. 308 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.480 Adam and Eve and how Eve was the one that 309 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:46.240 ate the apple and uh, and she blamed Adam or 310 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:46.960 something like this. 311 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.879 And and I just believe she blamed the snake, she. 312 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:50.480 Blamed the snake. 313 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.120 And yeah, so anyway, it was something about that and uh. 314 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.840 And somebody wrote in and said. 315 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.200 I can't believe that he would say, you know what, 316 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.679 I don't want to waste people's time. 317 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.600 But it's on the tip of my tongue what I 318 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.440 said exactly. 319 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.200 The thing about comedy is this, especially when it comes 320 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.320 to generalities. Yes, so generalities can be funny, yes, And 321 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.039 the reason is all of us kind of understand the generalities. 322 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.360 So where you might look at it and go, well, 323 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.399 not my wife, but you can look at it and 324 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.720 go his wife and his wife and his wife kind 325 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.679 of are that way, right or whatever, or you know, 326 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.639 not my opinions, but other people's opinions. They're not my behaviors, 327 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.320 but other people's. So it's not that every single person 328 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.919 in a group is exactly the same way. The groups 329 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.559 tend to have generalities and then they wind up being funny. 330 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.639 And so the idea behind comedy is sometimes the group 331 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.399 dynamic is a funny dynastic. 332 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:47.919 I know it was. 333 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.639 So when she was quoting back to the serpent in 334 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.200 her conversation, she said, God said you must not eat 335 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.360 it or even touch it, or yes, you die. And 336 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.840 by the way, that's what God did not say. 337 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.559 He didn't say that, so I didn't say anything about 338 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.120 don't touch it. 339 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.200 He said don't either Okay, So I made the joke 340 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.440 and I said, well, I said, she's being dramatic because 341 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.080 you know she's a woman. Oh yeah, and then and 342 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.960 then everybody laughed hard. And then I said, immediately, I'm 343 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.639 just kidding. I'm just kidding. And then and then somebody 344 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.200 wrote in, so. 345 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.399 You took a beating for that. Well, so then now 346 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.960 you just thought you go online and just tell. 347 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.919 You there's only there's only right, right, there's only like 348 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:26.919 one person that wrote in. 349 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.080 I told five thousand people this Sunday, and I had 350 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:30.960 some people, man, so I thought I'd tell ten thousand 351 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:32.639 more today, right. 352 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:35.679 And somebody wrote in, I think it was only one person. 353 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.120 We got to talk about that self disciplined thing again. 354 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.240 Remember self control. A person without self controls like a 355 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.799 city with broken down walls. You have any defenses. 356 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.879 I have no defenses. I'm like I'm like a city. 357 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.000 I'm like a city with no walls. Come at me 358 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.000 with your arrows. 359 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.000 Yeah, exactly, there coming in the angry mobs. Your walls 360 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.000 are down, and the angry mobs are coming. 361 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.240 This one woman said, women need to get out of 362 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.359 that stigma, so don't fuel it by your jokes. 363 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.079 That's what she. 364 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:09.440 Said, okay, yeah, well it's your jokes are single handedly oppressing. 365 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.200 Well, I mean she's not, you know, it's you know, 366 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.000 I mean, you know, I don't want to take away 367 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.799 your argument. It's not like she's wrong, it's just that, 368 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.319 you know, my theory is lightening up a little bit. 369 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.359 Yeah, we're is joking, just joking, just comedy is good 370 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.640 for the soul. Yes, so there is a thing here. 371 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.079 You know. One of the things I love about the 372 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.480 Bible is how the Bible gives evidence and weight and 373 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.720 confidence for a Christian to say this, the Bible is 374 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.200 trustworthy and true. And in one of these a lot 375 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.799 of times, it's when the Bible references itself, because remember 376 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.480 the Bible wasn't written all a one time. It is 377 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.920 written by forty something authors over fifteen hundred year period. 378 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:51.480 That's right. 379 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:58.720 And Jesus quotes this passage. So Jesus quotes verse six 380 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.039 and seven. What he does he adapts them into a 381 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.000 parable right. So verse six he said, don't demand an 382 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.680 audience with the king or push for a place among 383 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.359 the great It's better to wait for an invitation at 384 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.240 the head of the table, to the head of the 385 00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.440 table than to be sent away in public disgrace. Remember 386 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.799 he tells the story and he says, man, when you 387 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.920 go to a party, don't go sit up at the front, 388 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.880 sit at the end, because it's better to be invited 389 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.599 up than it is if a important person comes and 390 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:26.079 they make you move down. And you know, so Jesus 391 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.799 believes in the value of Solomon's writings. And you know, 392 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:35.000 Jesus was unbelievably wise even as a young man. He's 393 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:39.000 sitting on the steps of the temple teaching at twelve 394 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:43.200 years old, and all these you know, leaders are just 395 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.240 amazed at his wisdom. Well, how do you get wisdom? 396 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.640 You get wisdom? The Bible says two different ways. In 397 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:50.720 the Book of James, it says, if anybody lacks wisom, 398 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.759 let them ask God, who gives generously to everybody. So 399 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.279 if you need wisdom, keep asking God for wisdom. The 400 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.920 other way that you're going to get wisdom, and the 401 00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:59.640
