Because he's sitting on a 116 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.279 wooden bench against the wall, you know, of the thing 117 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.000 with all. 118 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.120 These people sitting next to me.

You don't 138 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.160 save money, and then it's a miserable experience. 139 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.839 So yes, yeah, it ends up being pretty close to 140 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:42.879 what you would pay somewhere else. 141 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.360 I am a very pro business person. I hope businesses 142 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.560 succeed except for that one.

Proverbs chapter fifteen, speaking off, 152 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.959 speaking of things that survive for a long time. These 153 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.800 proverbs have been around for thousands of years. 154 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.759 Wow, you know, I always forget that.

You've already quoted this earlier this week? 162 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:40.879 I did? 163 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:41.279 Yeah. 164 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.279 It is it like a preview, a sneak preview. 165 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.120 Yeah, well, you can't get too much of the Bible jest. 166 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:50.160 Yeah, for our listeners. For our listeners, you already heard 167 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.000 quick quote verse one. 168 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.000 Do you want to quote it again? 169 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:54.480 No? No, you're the reader. 170 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.399 Okay, you're fifteen one the reader. 171 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.160 A gentle answer deflex anger, But harsh words make tempers flair. 172 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.160 We could have stopped there. 173 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.360 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the 174 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.480 mouth of a fool belches out foolishness. 175 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.639 Does that count? For like the first six minutes of 176 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:13.560 an episode. 177 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.839 Right, no doubt, belches. I love the word belches. That 178 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:20.360 describes our first six minutes. 179 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.439 Matter of fact, in the notes, it just says belch 180 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.000 out foolishness. That's what it says in the notes. Okay. 181 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.319 The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both 182 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.399 the evil and the good. Gentle words are a tree 183 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.319 of life. A deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Only a 184 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.759 fool despises a parent's discipline. Whoever learns from correction is wise. 185 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.639 There is a treasure in the house of the godly, 186 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.759 but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble. The lips 187 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.920 of the wise give good advice. The heart of a 188 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.959 fool has none to give. The Lord detests the sacrifice 189 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.199 of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of 190 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.720 the upright. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, 191 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.519 but he loves those who pursue godliness. Whoever abandons the 192 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.519 right path will be severely disciplined. Whoever hates correction will die. 193 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.800 Even death and destruction hold no secrets from the Lord. 194 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.120 How much more does he know the human heart. Mockers 195 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.759 hate to be corrected, so they stay away from the wise. 196 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.720 A glad heart makes a happy face. A broken heart 197 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.439 crushes the spirit. A wise person is hungry for knowledge, 198 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.279 while the fool feeds on trash. For the despondent, every 199 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.120 day brings trouble for the happy heart. Life is a 200 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.519 continual feast. Better to have little with fear of the 201 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.279 Lord than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. A 202 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.600 bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than 203 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:45.600 steak with someone you hate. A hot tempered person starts fights, 204 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.440 a cool tempered person stops them. A lazy person's way 205 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.840 is blocked with briers, but the path of the upright 206 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.559 is an open highway. Sensible children bring joy to their father, 207 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.080 and foolish children despise their mother. Flishness brings joy to 208 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.879 those with no sense. A sensible person stays on the 209 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.799 right path. Plans go wrong for lack of advice. Many 210 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.200 advisers bring success anyone who enjoys a fitting reply, or 211 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.000 everyone enjoys a fitting reply. It's wonderful to say the 212 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.840 right thing at the right time. The path of life 213 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.679 leads upward. For the wise, they leave the grave behind. 214 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.519 The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but 215 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.960 he protects the property of widows. The Lord detests evil plans, 216 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.799 but he delights in pure words. Greed brings grief to 217 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.279 the whole family, but those who hate bribes will live. 218 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.600 The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking. The 219 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.039 mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words. The Lord 220 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.080 is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayers 221 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.240 of the righteous. A cheerful look brings joy to the heart. 222 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.600 Good news makes for good health. If you listen to 223 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.279 constructive criticism, you'll be at home among the wise. If 224 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.200 you reject discipline, you only harm yourself. But if you 225 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.039 listen to correction, you grow an understanding. Fear of the 226 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.000 Lord teaches wisdom. Humility precedes honor. 227 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.679 There you go, Humility proceeds honor. 228 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:11.759 I love that. 229 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.240 It's almost like a just a little add on. Yes, 230 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.960 it's like Genesis one sixteen. He created the planets, oh, 231 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.600 in all the stars as well. Right, it's just a 232 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.440 little ad on that has so much, so much in 233 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.159 those little words. 234 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.440 Yeah. So you know the thing about this is, uh, 235 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:30.159 you know. 236 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.879 It starts off the chapter with I told you, one 237 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.840 of my favorite verses, yep, and uh it changed my life. 238 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.440 And I think I've told the story before, so I 239 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.679 don't have to retell it, but I'll just say this. 240 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.000 The first time that I discovered that, uh, when you 241 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:48.759 when you diffuse anger with soft words, uh, the other 242 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.240 you know, the other person I literally saw it in 243 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.679 front of me is my brother Chuck, who was shouting 244 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.440 and then I just talked normal, and then all of 245 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.360 a sudden he went ooh and he de escalated and 246 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.360 went down. I thought the Bible was magic because because 247 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.720 it was the advice I was given by another person, 248 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.159 by a pastor, who said, try this. And I was like, 249 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.960 that's not gonna work. Like you have any idea who 250 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.519 my brother is? Do you have any idea how many 251 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.960 fights we get in? Do you have any idea like like, 252 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.799 really talking calm is going to work. I literally was 253 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:21.039 just clueless. And then from that point on you realize 254 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.720 that like, there there is there's so much more that 255 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.399 comes with just diffusing a fight. There there's a there's 256 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.759 a character thing attached to it, there's a there's a 257 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.840 reconciliation thing that comes from it. Right, It's it's better 258 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.440 for relationships all the way around. It's better for everybody, 259 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:36.679 uh not to and you know, and and by the way, 260 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.159 it goes hand in hand with uh with it talks 261 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:44.759 about uh, those with anger, right are foolish, those who 262 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.240 have a quick temper, uh will will bring harm to 263 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.200 you know, everybody. It's just interesting how anger and temper 264 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.000 and quick reactions is is coupled with foolishness and and 265 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.279 everything bad. So it it's really caused me, honestly to 266 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.360 be irritating in my arguments with my wife. 267 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.919 So if my wife, oh, that's that's an added bonus then, right, 268 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:08.279 I know. 269 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.080 So like we'll be arguing and I'll just talk like this, 270 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.120 and and I'll say, well, who's the one yelling? 271 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.279 And of course that's. 272 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.000 Not a good thing to say, no, right, yeah, and 273 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.279 then she you know, then she hits over. 274 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.159 There, didn't say one of the ones we read that 275 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.600 a foolish person gets beat because of his words, right, yes, 276 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.720 so the beatings come after that, even though you said 277 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.559 it pleasantly. 278 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:27.919 Yeah. 279 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.000 I was actually watching an episode of have you ever 280 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:31.879 seen Young Sheldon? 281 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.519 No, Young Sheldon. 282 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.840 It's it's a great wholesome show and it's about the 283 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.840 Big Bang theory when when Sheldon was young. 284 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.240 Anyway, the point. 285 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.519 Is is that, uh, the women were arguing and one 286 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.519 of the one of the sons. That father and the 287 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.120 son are eating at dinner table and they're just like 288 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.840 keeping their heads down, you know, and the women are 289 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.039 just shouting back and forth, and all of a sudden, 290 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.399 the one of the brothers decides to chime in and 291 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:55.960 he says, well, that's not what you said. And then 292 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.480 they turn around. They just yelled them like this, and 293 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.279 then uh. And then the father looks at the son 294 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.919 and he goes, dumb, dumb, you know. 295 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.039 So don't speak up, don't you know, Just to keep 296 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:08.320 your head down, you know. 297 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.200 Only he didn't say dumb dumb. I said it nicely. 298 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.320 But anyway, that's what it, Liz, So what else is. 299 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.919 In here, Jeff, Well, there's a whole bunch of things 300 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.519 about words, obviously, right. This is a theme that words 301 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:25.759 really matter. Words, the Bible says in a couple different places, 302 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.720 words have the power of life or death. Right, Well, 303 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.159 you can kill a relationship, or you can breathe life 304 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.879 into a relationship with your words, you can uh. And 305 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.799 and a lot of it is perspective. Solomon, have you 306 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.799 noticed how there's this or that kind of balance to 307 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.879 most of his proverbs? A wise person is hungry for knowledge. 308 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.840 The fool feeds on trash, right. Yeah, yeah, there's the 309 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:55.080 there's the side you want to aspire to and the 310 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.440 side you want to avoid. Almost all the time, there's 311 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:02.440 that that kind of idea. But I think it's it's interesting. 312 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.080 Where was it. 313 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.480 I was just looking at verse fifteen. For the despondent, 314 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.960 every day brings trouble. For the happy heart, life is 315 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.840 a continual feast. They're both experiencing the same day, right, 316 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.600 But a lot of times it really is perspective. Right, 317 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.879 So the words that we say have a positive or 318 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.919 negative effect. Have you ever heard any as somebody say before, 319 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.919 if you think you can or if you think you can't, 320 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.320 you're probably right. 321 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:28.200 Have you ever heard that rame? No? 322 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.159 But I remember the Chucci train. I think I can, 323 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:31.919 I think I can. 324 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.440 Yeah, No, I think it was. It was it's some 325 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.399 famous American guy. I want to say. 326 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.360 It was like, I don't know, Henry Ford or President 327 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.080 Eisenhower or somebody. You know, somebody like that, somebody just 328 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.080 I'm going to pick one, Mark Twain. I don't know somebody. 329 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.720 I've seen it many times. It's a famous quote. If 330 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.200 you think you can or if you think you can't, 331 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.480 You're probably right, and there's something to you. I've seen 332 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.399 this qu A lot of it is a prospective thing. 333 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.200 If you start off with that negative. For the despondent, 334 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:02.399 every day is problems right right. That word despondent doesn't 335 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.480 have to mean, you know, depressed or miserable. It's just 336 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.440 the person who has a negative outlook, is what I'm 337 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:12.279 talking about. If you look at life from a negative perspective, 338 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.440 of course, trouble's coming, right, But if you're a happy person, 339 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.840 if you're a positive person, life's. 340 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.200 A continual feast and there's this something. Yeah, go ahead, 341 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.679 Henry Ford, was it, Henry Ford? It was my first choice, 342 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.120 was it? 343 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:24.559 Really? Yeah? 344 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.159 I said, Henry Ford? Or president eis an hour or whether. 345 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.120 You think you can or you think you can't. 346 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.320 You're right, Yeah, there you go. That's great, So Henry Ford, 347 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.679 I should trust my gut more. I know. I'm pretty 348 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.039 sure Salomon said not to do that, but yeah. 349 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:38.759 That's fun. 350 00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:39.480 First thing. 351 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.559 So that phrase, anyways, is it's all about attitude. And 352 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.919 so a lot of what Solomon talks about on the 353 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.360 surface is words. It sounds like he's talking about words, 354 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.080 but a lot of it really is attitude. 355 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:50.840 In that fight. 356 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.159 If your attitude is I want to fight, buddy, it's 357 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.759 gonna get messy. If your attitude is I'm not going 358 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.080 to fight, right then, So a lot of it really 359 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.840 is the perspective of the thing. Hope deferred makes the 360 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.759 heart sick. We read that the other day. So if 361 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.320 you're the kind of person who wants to fight, it 362 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.159 doesn't matter that they were disappointed by a thing. Now 363 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.399 you just want to defend yourself and fight, as opposed 364 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:16.759 to if you have the outlook or the attitude of 365 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.399 just saying, Okay, I get it, you're disappointed. 366 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:21.559 How can I help you? Right? 367 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.000 Then you can change things. And so so many of 368 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.240 the one liners that he has a gentle words or 369 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.480 tree of life, right whatever, If we could just learn 370 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.159 the importance of our words and the importance of our attitude, 371 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.519 those two things is about a third of everything he writes. 372 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.159 Well, I mean, think about this, and I know this 373 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.279 is a weird sort of thought, but you know, God 374 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.360 created humans and then he gave us the ability to 375 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.000 number one, have words with each other and then have actions, 376 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.039 you know, with each other. Right, So words is most 377 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.480 of which you know, it's one of the most important. 378 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.519 If not the most important thing in our lives. 379 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.799 Words, right, and we have the power, which is why 380 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.720 there's so many verses that talk about the tongue and 381 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.440 the dangers. 382 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.000 You know. So the Book of James says that the. 383 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.400 Tongue has the power to set the whole what does 384 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.880 he say, the whole hell on fire? 385 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:13.319 Right right? 386 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.000 What does he say? 387 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.839 He says, it's like a rudder of a ship. It's 388 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.119 a small little rudder that controls the entire ship. It's 389 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.480 the spark that can set an entire forest on fire. 390 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.079 That is the tongue. That's the power of the tongue. 391 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.279 And then there's other things in the scripture that say 392 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.640 what a word spoken in due season, how good it is, 393 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.480 And it talks about the importance of encouragement edification of 394 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.119 one person. 395 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:40.319 You know. 396 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.920 The Book of James stresses let your yes bys and 397 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.240 your no b no.
