:PJ (2): She told me that this

:Last year was 40.
45
:It was a big deal.
46
:Oh yeah.
47
:This is just 41.
48
:Just 41, okay.
49
:Rod: She mentioned something about
matching back tattoos with an eagle.
50
:Really, she mentioned it.
51
:Okay.
52
:She didn't say she committed to it yet.
53
:But she was thinking maybe
a matching back then.
54
:We're
55
:PJ (2): definitely gonna do that.
56
:Yeah.

:Yeah.

:So Yeah.
77
:If someone's oh man, I wanna

:Those two are easy.

:Okay.

94
:A good one.
95
:Okay.
96
:That's what, that's four.
97
:You asked for five.
98
:Ask
99
:Rod: for five.
100
:That's our top five.
101
:PJ (2): Oh man.
102
:How
103
:Rod: about logos credit?
104
:Do you use that or is that I
do uses logs credit as well.
105
:Yeah.
106
:Okay.
107
:Yep.
108
:Very good.
109
:What about first stuff for your car?
110
:You have this brand new spaceship
car that you've been using.
111
:Is there anything that you're looking for?
112
:Not really.
113
:PJ (2): It's pretty
self-sufficient on that front.
114
:So Flies we're good there.
115
:Yeah, it's good.
116
:I enjoy golf Dick's.
117
:Oh, golf.
118
:Yeah.
119
:Dick's Sporting Goods.
120
:I, that's a place that I'll go and
stock up on golf ball to lose fantastic.
121
:Yeah.
122
:And your favorite tattoo parlor.
123
:In case people wanna contribute
to the matching back tattoos.
124
:Yeah.
125
:It's you know that, that place
that's over off of that street off of
126
:Preston that says something like that?
127
:Yeah.
128
:Okay.
129
:Yeah.
130
:That bougie tattoo shop that you go to
somewhere in North Dallas or North Texas.
131
:Or Texas in general.
132
:That
133
:Rod: bougie tattoo parlor,
I'm sure you'll find it.
134
:It's off of Preston, I'm sure.
135
:And that's the one that he loves.
136
:PJ (2): Dude I tattoos, I.
137
:I have no strong feelings
one way or the other on it.
138
:I grew up just not in the culture
where my friends were interested
139
:in it or anything else like that.
140
:But I like, I, some people are
very opinionated about tattoos.
141
:Oh yeah.
142
:And I've told my kids, look, if
you're gonna do it, just know
143
:that it's, yeah, you got tattoo.
144
:It's for the rest of your life.
145
:Not now.
146
:I'm not looking at Annie right now
going, Hey, why don't you get one?
147
:No, I'm talking like.
148
:Oh, I think Josh asked
me about it at one point.
149
:I was like, and he would do that.
150
:You gotta make a decision that's
permanent for the rest of your life.
151
:Yeah.
152
:And Yeah, I know the Christian
bro thing is to get like a Hebrew
153
:word tattooed underneath your
neck or something like that.
154
:That, or on your forehead, wherever.
155
:Yeah, exactly.
156
:Like Mike Tyson.
157
:But I just, all I say I'm not.
158
:Passionate one way or the other
about tattoos, like it's the
159
:devil, or, oh, they're super cool.
160
:I'm just like, oh, okay.
161
:Like I've never had the
desire for it, so let's say
162
:Rod: we challenged the
church at:
163
:You let us pick the tattoo
to put on your back.
164
:PJ (2): Ah
165
:Rod: if Amanda hasn't already staked your
claim and you got matching tattoos with
166
:her, you'd be exempt if that's the case.
167
:But if not, let us.
168
:Submit to you, a tattoo for you to hire.
169
:Oh man.
170
:I feel like this hit 2000 on
171
:PJ (2): pastors with props on
Instagram or something like that.
172
:I, they would love it, man.
173
:If we, do you imagine if we hit 2000
people, we'll have a conversation.
174
:Rod: The conversation, we need commitment.
175
:Did you tell Amanda, Hey, when
we, after we have five kids,
176
:we'll have a conversation or
did you commit on the Friday?
177
:No, I said
178
:PJ (2): we'll have a conversation.
179
:Yeah.
180
:Okay.
181
:Rod: 2000 people.
182
:We will
183
:PJ (2): get you a tattoo for your back.
184
:I get
185
:Rod: to
186
:PJ (2): choose
187
:Rod: the
188
:PJ (2): size and location.
189
:Look,
190
:Rod: you get to choose size and location.
191
:Oh, come on.
192
:Alright.
193
:It's gotta be someplace that we could
all at least share the joy in it.
194
:Okay.
195
:You can't just hide it.
196
:PJ (2): How
197
:Rod: often do you
198
:PJ (2): see your senior pastor's
back on a regular basis, man.
199
:You theoretically could pull your
shirt and be like, yeah, here it is.
200
:I theoretically could, I never
will, but I theoretically could.
201
:Rod: I would think that the most
appropriate tattoo would be a
202
:picture of your staff, all of your
staff on your back, 'cause you're
203
:carrying them upon your shoulders
or you know that they're the burden
204
:PJ (2): on your back.
205
:So you get to carry.
206
:So let's say we send Mark out
to plant a church in six years.
207
:What happens at that point?
208
:Do we just scrub him out?
209
:Do I get him removed?
210
:No.
211
:As.
212
:Is as each member of the staff is added,
you add a new person to the picture.
213
:Oh man.
214
:I feel like that's the
only right thing at:
215
:We're gonna have a lot
of people on staff too.
216
:I don't know that's there's
a lot of room on your back.
217
:Yeah.
218
:Okay.
219
:Yeah.
220
:No we're looking forward
to some time away.
221
:So thanks for holding down
the ship while I'm gone.
222
:Yeah.
223
:Don't hold high
expectations for either the
224
:Rod: podcasts or the sermons.
225
:That's not true.
226
:That's not
227
:PJ (2): true.
228
:Says that expectations
know the difference.
229
:Keep your expectations low.
230
:No, because then I won't.
231
:Have trouble getting over it.
232
:Exceed them.
233
:Yeah.
234
:Hey, let's jump into our reading for the
day, two chapters in the book of Proverbs.
235
:So we're back here.
236
:We're back in Proverbs.
237
:We've been in Psalms, we're jumping
all over the place recently.
238
:Psalms, we've been in First
Kings second Chronicles from now.
239
:We're in Proverbs.
240
:Proverbs, the Wisdom writings of Solomon.
241
:So chapter 25, these are
the Proverbs of Solomon.
242
:Notice verse one though, which the men
of he kayak, king of Judah, copied.
243
:So it seems that these were there,
they were known, and yet they
244
:weren't really codified until
these men of Hezekiah came around.
245
:I think it was MacArthur that commented
that this may be in keeping with
246
:Hezekiah's attempts at the reforms that
he tried to make as Judah was struggling.
247
:That he, they found these instead of,
Hey, these would be good things for people
248
:to start practicing if we are going to
turn things around here with our nation.
249
:And so that's a testimony in and of
itself of the significance of the book
250
:of Proverbs that it was helpful and
so important in the eyes of Hezekiah
251
:is he was looking at a godless nation
that he said, if we can get these
252
:in the hands of people, then we may
start to see the things turn around.
253
:There's good wisdom there in this book.
254
:Rod: Amen.
255
:In fact, every good revival
has, at its heart God's word.
256
:It either is stoking the flames,
it is feeding the flames.
257
:Somewhere in this picture, there's
gonna be glory to God, there's gonna
258
:be a love for Christ and there's gonna
be all sorts of good things, but the
259
:word is gonna play a central rule.
260
:That's the case for every
revival that we have on record,
261
:the word of God plays its role.
262
:So if you're looking for a revival,
you're gonna find it in large part by
263
:uncovering and applying God's word.
264
:Yeah.
265
:PJ (2): Speaking of which, verses
two and three seem to suggest that's
266
:not an easy task all the time that it
says it's there, it's the glory of God
267
:to conceal things, but the glory of.
268
:Kings to search things out.
269
:It, it seems there, there's different
opinions as to what this verse means,
270
:but I think one of the things means that
man, God is not gonna reveal everything
271
:to us, and that's part of his glory.
272
:There's a mystery there about
him that is always gonna keep us
273
:mindful of the fact that we are
the creature and he's the creator.
274
:At the same time, I think he's saying
it's commendable to apply ourselves
275
:to try to understand as much as we
can to try to search things out.
276
:It doesn't say it's the glory of kings to
find things out, but to search things out.
277
:That means that there's a process there,
and sometimes that process will lead
278
:to more knowledge and sometimes that
process will lead us to our own limits.
279
:To be able to say, man, I don't
think we can understand any
280
:more than we know at this point.
281
:Rod: I think people in
part will invent ideas.
282
:And I, this is where we go wrong.
283
:Actually, we go wrong often because
we're trying to figure God out.
284
:And I think that's a good instinct.
285
:It's noble instinct
according to Proverbs 25.
286
:Yeah.
287
:But that can also get us
in a lot of hot water.
288
:I think of different heresies
that have have been spread
289
:throughout the ages of the church.
290
:And part of it is because we're
trying to say out what is God.
291
:Think about this.
292
:How does God put these pieces together?
293
:So we gotta be careful with it.
294
:It's good.
295
:In fact, Deuteronomy 29 29 tells us that
the secret things belong to the Lord.
296
:There are certain things that
we're just not gonna be able
297
:to pass this side of the veil.
298
:And maybe even not over
the next side either.
299
:I don't know what that's gonna be like.
300
:We'll have all eternity.
301
:Figure it out.
302
:But there are things that
are ultimately led to God.
303
:However, the challenge for us
is not to dismiss things and
304
:say that's just God's domain.
305
:Don't even bother thinking about it.
306
:Don't worry about it.
307
:You'll, he'll figure it out later.
308
:You'll understand that.
309
:No this is a noble thing to say,
okay, how does God think about this?
310
:How does God want me to understand this?
311
:And we do that carefully.
312
:And we do that very judiciously
with the word of God at the center.
313
:PJ (2): And I would say in community too.
314
:That's a good point.
315
:Yeah.
316
:If you're trying to do this on
your own and you find that you
317
:have a view on something that no
one else shares, you're wrong.
318
:You're wrong.
319
:Yeah.
320
:And that's important to know too.
321
:And so if you're wrestling with
deep topics, heavy things, we've
322
:been talking about dispensationalism
and covenant theology.
323
:That's it.
324
:That's a heavy thing to
wrestle with and talk through.
325
:Predestination versus free will.
326
:God's sovereignty, man's responsibility.
327
:These are heavy things.
328
:Creation.
329
:These are things that are deep
and hard for us to understand
330
:in a lot of different ways.
331
:Do that with other people, other
believers, with your pastors.
332
:Don't.
333
:Hole up with the, a bunch of dead guys
in, in paperback or hardback or on
334
:Kindle, and draw your own conclusions
without running them through other
335
:people and saying, Hey I'm thinking
these and here's the questions that I
336
:have and let's help me reason through
what I'm thinking about right now.
337
:That's one of the beauties
that we have in the church.
338
:Verse five, take away the wicked from
the presence of the king and his throne
339
:will be established in righteousness.
340
:Ironic, because Solomon wrote that.
341
:And man, his son could have.
342
:Taking that information to heart,
we're gonna find out that Ray Bow
343
:is not gonna listen to that one.
344
:'cause he's gonna surround himself with
the wicked and choose to listen to them.
345
:And as a result, his throne is not
gonna be established in righteousness.
346
:Far from it.
347
:The kingdom is gonna be
split under his reign.
348
:Wonder if
349
:Rod: they were wicked
or if they were just.
350
:Foolish.
351
:That could be too, they were
juveniles and that they were his
352
:comrades, they were his friends.
353
:And I think that was the mistake
because it was the elders who
354
:said, here's what you should do.
355
:And he did not listen to his elders.
356
:I think you could still apply much
of the proverbs to rebo him, but I
357
:wonder if it's less wickedness and
more foolishness, and maybe they're
358
:actually closer related than we realize.
359
:PJ (2): I'm looking at the word
there in the Hebrew, it's, yeah,
360
:it's for Wicked or esaw for Wicked.
361
:So it's, yeah.
362
:Guilty, wicked person.
363
:So yeah it's, there may be parallels.
364
:It is different from the fool.
365
:So yeah, that's a good point.
366
:We don't know secret things.
367
:Just like that.
368
:Yeah.
369
:Verse 11 and 12 he says, A word
fitly spoken is like apples of gold
370
:and settings of silver, like a gold
ring or an ornament of gold is a
371
:wise re prover to a listening ear.
372
:Our words are powerful.
373
:We've talked about that before in the
book of Proverbs, and here it talks
374
:about the fact that we can use them
for the good of other people and we
375
:should try that, that's an important
thing for us to set our hearts after.
376
:As Christians,
377
:Rod: I love Sal.
378
:Verse 12 that you brought up here.
379
:The, like a gold ring or an ornament
of gold is a wise rep prover.
380
:Here.
381
:Here.
382
:Here's the key here to a listening ear.
383
:You are wise to have someone to allow
someone to reprove you, to correct
384
:you, to rebuke you, you are wise to
invite correction into your life from
385
:friends or family or someone wise.
386
:Obviously you don't wanna just receive
it from anybody because the quality
387
:of the person's obviously gonna have
an impact on the quality of the.
388
:The rebuke, but man, you don't be
the kind of person who has a hard
389
:time listening because of your pride.
390
:Scripture says that you should be the
kind of person who welcomes this into your
391
:life because this demonstrates wisdom.
392
:It is like a gold ring
or an ornament of gold.
393
:That's what it's like when that person
gives you the gift of their reprove.
394
:You ought to be wise enough to receive it.
395
:Hey.
396
:PJ (2): How about verse 17?
397
:Let your foot seldom be in your
neighbor's house lest he have
398
:his fill of you and hate you.
399
:Let's taLk about this one for a second.
400
:What are we saying here?
401
:I think what he's saying is be mindful
of staying too long at somebody's house.
402
:If somebody That's a good,
that's a good counsel.
403
:If somebody has you over, that's great.
404
:But it is better.
405
:You leave too soon than too late.
406
:Amen.
407
:You tell me this all the time when
I'm preaching all the time, I, you're
408
:like, man, you need to all the time,
you need to leave them wanting more.
409
:That less, finish before they're
finished is what you always say to me.
410
:So I'm like, okay, man.
411
:And in that sense, I think
that's good counsel here too.
412
:When you're going over
to somebody's house.
413
:Watch the cues, pay attention.
414
:Think about the family that you're around
and whether or not they're, they've
415
:got an early morning, the next morning,
they've got kids that need to get to bed.
416
:Some families, I get it are super chill
and relaxed and they don't mind on this.
417
:And they're like, Hey we're easy.
418
:We're flexible.
419
:Stay as long as you want.
420
:We're gonna, that's who we are.
421
:Yeah.
422
:Not everybody's like that.
423
:And it's good for us to be mindful of
that when we're going over to somebody's
424
:Rod: house.
425
:Even when somebody says that.
426
:No one actually means, Hey, stay
as long as you would, because
427
:there's a way to abuse that.
428
:And I think that's the point.
429
:Christians are nice people.
430
:Christians are genuine and
kind, and generous, and
431
:hospitable hos we're co Yeah.
432
:And so it's up to us as the visitors
to say, I think the prior verse
433
:is helpful if you found honey.
434
:Eat only enough for you, lest you
have your fill of it and vomit it out.
435
:There is a, such a thing as
too much of a good thing.
436
:Yeah.
437
:And if you impose on people, man,
this is where it makes hospitality
438
:really hard for people I love
passages like this because they
439
:really help us think practically very.
440
:Detailed, practical ways to
say, how do I love people best?
441
:I'd rather have them say, I wish that
we had them for longer, rather than
442
:saying, man, they stayed way too long.
443
:I wish they, I'm never
gonna do this again.
444
:What are those things?
445
:Yeah.
446
:So yeah, there's too, there's, there is
such a thing as too much of a good thing.
447
:PJ (2): Yeah, there is.
448
:There's other good ones in chapter
25, verse 21, 22, talking about r.
449
:Care for those that are our enemies,
and how if we are kind to them, that it
450
:is heaping burning coals on their head.
451
:The Lord's gonna reward us.
452
:Give them water to drink.
453
:That's not easy to do to love
people that are unkind towards
454
:us or who may be our enemies.
455
:Verse 28.
456
:A man without self-control is like a
city broken into and left without walls.
457
:You preached on self-control recently,
and this is this is such an important
458
:concept that we need to be people who are.
459
:Self-control, that's a mark of having
the spirit in our lives, is that we
460
:are someone who is self controlled,
not given to outbursts, not given over
461
:to, to fleshly lust and cravings, but
somebody who is able to discipline
462
:themselves to maintain that self-control.
463
:And if you don't have it, you're
like a city broken and left without
464
:walls because the enemy can attack
you all day long and will easily.
465
:Sway you over and win that.
466
:Rod: Yeah.
467
:Hey, in your bibles, if you use a
paper Bible, make sure you connect.
468
:Verse 16 and 27.
469
:You probably caught this, but both
of them say something very similar.
470
:I if you found honey, eat only
enough for you lest you have
471
:your fill of it and vomit it.
472
:Verse 27, it is not good to
eat too much honey, nor is it
473
:glorious to seek one's own glory.
474
:And so there again, you see something of
it's, there is such a thing as too much
475
:of a good thing, and it's not a good
thing to have too much of a good thing.
476
:It's a bad thing at that point.
477
:So in this case, he's saying,
look, don't seek your own glory.
478
:Don't look for great things for yourself.
479
:This is what Jeremiah's,
servant, Baruch has told.
480
:He said, look don't try
to put yourself out there.
481
:Let God do that for you.
482
:In fact, Jesus says, whoever
humbles himself will be exalted.
483
:It's better to be told, Hey, come up here.
484
:As opposed to, Hey,
you're in the wrong spot.
485
:Let me put you where you belong right now.
486
:Scripture has this really
interesting phraseology.
487
:It says let the person, or let someone
not think too highly of themself.
488
:That's what Paul says.
489
:But the corollary to that is also equally
important, even though he doesn't say it.
490
:It's implied.
491
:Don't think too low.
492
:Leave yourself either.
493
:Each person think of
himself with sober judgment.
494
:And so I think that verse is helpful
because it's saying don't try to take
495
:for yourself more than what is warranted.
496
:Think of yourself in the right way.
497
:Don't eat too much of the honey.
498
:Don't read your own press.
499
:I think about this often.
500
:People say, Hey, good, great sermon.
501
:I really love that.
502
:That was the best sermon I've
ever heard in my whole life.
503
:And I know people mean well.
504
:I appreciate that I receive it for
the gift that it is, but I also
505
:know I have a long way to grow.
506
:PJ (2): Yeah.
507
:Yeah.
508
:The Bible also says, let another
mouth praise you and not your own.
509
:That's right.
510
:Alright.
511
:Chapter 26, then four and five.
512
:This is one that we come to quite
a bit and a lot of people will
513
:look at this and be like, look, the
Bible contradicts itself 'cause it
514
:says answer, not a fool according
to his folly, lest you be like him.
515
:And then it says in verse five,
answer a fool according to his folly,
516
:lest he be wise in his own eyes.
517
:And so it looks like a contradiction
until we understand what's going on
518
:here in verse four, he's basically
saying, don't become foolish.
519
:Like the fool is foolish.
520
:Don't answer him in.
521
:In like manner, like
fashion, like his folly.
522
:Instead verse five, answer
him according to his folly.
523
:In other words, answer him in
response to contrasting, showing
524
:the wisdom in response to his folly.
525
:Less he be wise in his own eyes.
526
:And so we aren't supposed
to retreat from the foolish.
527
:We also aren't supposed
to engage in, be foolish.
528
:We are supposed to call them
out of their foolishness, call
529
:them away from their folly.
530
:And that's what four and
five is setting up there.
531
:Rod: Yeah, wise in his
own eyes appears again.
532
:In verse 12, it says Here, do you see
a man who is wise in his own eyes?
533
:There is more hope for a fool
than for him, which tells us that
534
:there are degrees of foolishness
that we need to be aware of.
535
:And one of the lowest, or most
extreme degrees is where you
536
:think that you're wiser than God.
537
:If you're wise in your own
eyes, is because you think
538
:you're intellectually superior.
539
:You have greater knowledge, greater
insights than somebody else.
540
:And therefore scripture says
you're in especially grave danger.
541
:So be aware of that.
542
:Yeah.
543
:PJ (2): Verse 20.
544
:We've hit this before with the letting
out of water here as compared to fire.
545
:But again, you have the
power to stop coralling in
546
:conflict before it breaks out.
547
:For lack of wood, the fire
goes out and where there's
548
:no whisper, coralling ceases.
549
:And so that can have to do
with relational conflict.
550
:It can have to do with gossip
and spreading things like this.
551
:We have the ability to put an end to it.
552
:It's like when you get
the chain email right?
553
:And you're like, yeah, I'm not.
554
:I'm not gonna do that.
555
:Like this thing's gonna die with me.
556
:That, that needs to be the way it is.
557
:When we're sensing conflict, building up
in a marriage or in a relationship with
558
:a child or a relationship with somebody
else in the church, we have the ability
559
:to put an end to it and walk away.
560
:As you preached with the men recently,
not to be alistic, not to be.
561
:Those that, that crave conflict
in, in fighting with each other.
562
:And so Solomon's en encouraging
that in verse 20 there.
563
:Rod: Yeah.
564
:Speaking of whoever medals in a
quarrel not his own is like one who
565
:takes a passing dog by the ears.
566
:I think.
567
:Today's day and age, we have a lot of
access to quarrels that are not our own.
568
:And prudence would dictate that
we typically avoid those things.
569
:Yep.
570
:Unless there's a really good
reason for us to engage.
571
:Online debates or, Facebook
arguments, Twitter debates, things
572
:like that generally are unhelpful.
573
:For sure.
574
:There is some benefit to them.
575
:I will admit, especially when you
have helpful takes most of the
576
:time, it's not worth your time.
577
:Yeah, I would
578
:PJ (2): agree.
579
:I would agree a hundred percent.
580
:Hey, let's read or let's read.
581
:We've been reading.
582
:Let's pray and then we'll be done with
this episode of the Daily Bible Podcast.
583
:God, thanks for Solomon's wisdom.
584
:That's now our wisdom because we get
to read it and understand it and apply
585
:it to our lives through the spirit.
586
:We pray that we would do that.
587
:I pray that you would make us a
church that is, that is, as Pastor
588
:Rod was saying a church of revival.
589
:And anytime revival is gonna happen, we
need the word of God to be a part of that.
590
:And so we desire that for our church,
that you would use us to do great things.
591
:And if we're gonna do that, we've
gotta have your word front and center.
592
:And so we thank you for it.
593
:We thank you for timing
it today, in Jesus name.
594
:Amen.
595
:Amen.
596
:Keep reading your Bibles.
