Speaker:

Everybody welcome back to another

edition of the Daily Bible Podcast.

2

:

Hello.

3

:

It is Friday, June 6th, 1944.

4

:

Nope, that was a long

time ago, but significant.

5

:

Because it is D-Day and today is our

day that we set aside to remember

6

:

the invasion of the beaches there

in Normandy, France which really

7

:

set up a big shift in World War ii.

8

:

And man, there, there's a lot that

has been published about this.

9

:

A lot of YouTube history channels

that are so good that, that do a lot

10

:

of videos on this Band of Brothers.

11

:

The series that was put out there

was done about the airbornes.

12

:

Troops that went in behind enemy

lines, even before the ships landed

13

:

and helped to clear out some of

the German artillery and things.

14

:

But yeah, significant day.

15

:

And even this morning, yes, as I record,

so Thursday morning, Mueller was talking

16

:

about the strike that was carried out

by Ukraine on these Russian bombers.

17

:

And just how warfare has changed so much.

18

:

And it's now you've got these unmanned

aerial vehicles that are carrying out

19

:

these strikes and launching these strikes.

20

:

And it used to be war meant we're putting

the resources of human beings on the line.

21

:

And now that's still happening.

22

:

This war in Russian Ukraine has cost

the lives of over a million people now.

23

:

But.

24

:

It's also if this happened today,

this would never happen this way.

25

:

You would have these drones

go in and clear people out and

26

:

other things happen in that way.

27

:

And on the one hand it does spare

some lives, but on the other hand,

28

:

it really distorts the perversions

and the atrocities of war because

29

:

you don't have to see it anymore.

30

:

You've got a guy in a joystick

that's sitting in a room that's

31

:

flying this this mission instead of.

32

:

Your 18-year-old sons that are out

there, as these boats are hitting

33

:

and the doors are opening up and

bullets are flying all over the place.

34

:

It's a different generation for sure.

35

:

And I'm not speaking of that as one

that's experienced this, that my

36

:

generation has been a generation of peace.

37

:

Your generation by and large PR

has been a generation of peace as

38

:

far as our country is concerned.

39

:

There have been wars that have

been fought, but nothing that, that

40

:

hit this way, the way it did for

the, I think this is the greatest

41

:

generation, is what they refer to

them as that fought during World War.

42

:

Two.

43

:

Yeah.

44

:

With good cause they're called that

we live in a different timeframe

45

:

and in fact, I would imagine that

warfare is gonna look dramatically

46

:

different in the coming years.

47

:

So much more so will be done virtually

and digitally versus in person

48

:

and physically as we were used to.

49

:

So gone of the glory days of what

warfare used to look like, at least for.

50

:

The more developed nations.

51

:

I know Ukraine and Russia are

having their own problems, but

52

:

to your point, that was done.

53

:

They're offensive against some

of their bombers was through

54

:

drones, which is again, some kid

on a joystick, which is amazing.

55

:

You tell your kids all the

time, like video games aren't

56

:

gonna do anything for you.

57

:

But unless they're in the military and

they're operating a drone, perhaps it

58

:

could, but even that will become obsolete

fairly quickly with the advent of ai.

59

:

Yeah.

60

:

It'll become a much more programming

oriented mission as opposed to someone.

61

:

Manually controlling a thing

via a joystick of sorts.

62

:

So we are only on the precipice,

the very cusp of a dramatic shift in

63

:

how we understand war and warfare.

64

:

Speaking of ai, did you see Gavin

Orland's video that he released recently?

65

:

It's queued up in my podcast.

66

:

Yeah.

67

:

I have not gotten to it yet.

68

:

I have 30 podcasts queued up at any

time, and so I'll see one and I saw his,

69

:

I'm like, oh, I wanna listen to that.

70

:

But right now I'm listening to.

71

:

A podcast about facial recognition and

why some people are terrible at it.

72

:

By the way, I'm really bad at it,

which is why I'm like, oh, I wanna

73

:

know why I'm bad at this thing.

74

:

Anyway, so I'm listening to that.

75

:

But his is at one, two, there's three

down, and I've got, I got that one ready.

76

:

I scrubbed through some of it and

listened to some of it on the way it's

77

:

interesting and you've got obviously the.

78

:

The keyboard warriors in the

comment section that are like,

79

:

I work in AI and there's no way

this is gonna happen, and no way.

80

:

Oh, totally.

81

:

The people are commenting on his

video and saying, I don't believe him.

82

:

Yeah.

83

:

Don't ignore, ignore this.

84

:

This isn't actually

gonna happen and stuff.

85

:

I don't believe them.

86

:

Anyone who knows anything about AI is

sounding the alarm and that ought to give

87

:

all of us who are not AI enthusiasts.

88

:

Great.

89

:

Cause for alarm as well.

90

:

Totally.

91

:

No one is.

92

:

Is neutral about it, right?

93

:

Everyone is saying we're in a very

precarious spot because we don't know how

94

:

it works and we don't know where it goes.

95

:

This podcast as you'll find out,

one of the things that they talk

96

:

about as a harbinger of the Times

is they believe that by:

97

:

gonna have AI robot plumbers.

98

:

That are gonna be showing up to take

care of the clog in your toilet at your

99

:

house or clear the sink out or whatever.

100

:

And it's talking about, from

the economy, what's AI gonna do,

101

:

it's gonna take away these jobs.

102

:

And you've got plumbers that are

like, they're never gonna take my job.

103

:

They can't do it the same

way, and everything else.

104

:

And there's probably truth

to that, but, some truth.

105

:

It's fascinating.

106

:

You know who loves AI at our church?

107

:

Who is the biggest proponent?

108

:

I think even more than you.

109

:

No, even more than you.

110

:

This, the name's gonna shock you.

111

:

You ready?

112

:

Let me guess.

113

:

Annie Burner.

114

:

No.

115

:

Dan Mayer.

116

:

Dan Mayer.

117

:

Dan is ready to have ai, everything.

118

:

He wants the.

119

:

Robot Butler.

120

:

He wants them made.

121

:

Oh, up for that.

122

:

Yeah.

123

:

Yeah.

124

:

He wants to the microchip in his brain.

125

:

He's ready.

126

:

He's anything, AI, bring it on.

127

:

I want it all.

128

:

Is that what he says?

129

:

Huh?

130

:

All right.

131

:

Something like that.

132

:

Or AI is the devil and

I don't want any of it.

133

:

It's one of those two, one of two things.

134

:

Hard to know which one he is

talking about on any given day.

135

:

Yeah.

136

:

It's gonna change everything, man.

137

:

Again I listened to a lot of this stuff.

138

:

I've been following a lot.

139

:

I'm excited about it.

140

:

Yeah.

141

:

But I am hearing growing

alarm in those who are.

142

:

Promoting and encouraging.

143

:

Its utility.

144

:

So it's not from people who

are saying, don't use it.

145

:

Yeah.

146

:

It's from people who are

saying, let's use it.

147

:

But boy, Pandora's box has been

opened, and the way that you close

148

:

it is impossible Now, and again, to

reiterate, we don't know how it works.

149

:

We don't understand what's behind it.

150

:

We don't understand how it

comes up with the answers.

151

:

It does, which is shocking to me because.

152

:

The programmers are saying we have an

idea we're, it's a large language model.

153

:

It puts together words that seem like

it's the next logical best word for the

154

:

occasion, and it does a great job of it,

but how it does, what it does is still

155

:

a black box, which is amazing to me.

156

:

Why do we even bring it

out in the first place?

157

:

And from what I've heard is

because we don't wanna be behind.

158

:

And everybody's worried about that.

159

:

Yeah, exactly.

160

:

And yet one of the ar the points that

somebody made was, we can stop ai.

161

:

I.

162

:

But the ones that have the

ability to stop it, don't want to.

163

:

And because the, it's like

having nuclear weapons, right?

164

:

Nobody's gonna say, let's all destroy

all of our nuclear weapons and we'll

165

:

just get rid of nuclear technology.

166

:

Yeah.

167

:

You're gonna think no way

you someone's gonna use it.

168

:

Yeah.

169

:

You're not gonna destroy all

your, our enemies are gonna

170

:

use it if we don't use it.

171

:

Exactly.

172

:

And that's, they're saying that about AI

too, which is fair and I think accurate.

173

:

Yeah.

174

:

But it is frightening to think about

where it could go and and either

175

:

limitations are gonna be put in

place 'cause people are gonna come

176

:

to their senses much like nuclear.

177

:

Limitations have been put in place.

178

:

Or people are gonna say, Nope, hands off.

179

:

Let's just see what happens to this thing.

180

:

Unlike nuclear.

181

:

The common man has access to ai.

182

:

True.

183

:

I would doubt, and I'd be shocked if

anything changed in terms of man's access.

184

:

Seems like it's only gonna open up

more and more, which is why in today's

185

:

day and age we don't need more ai, we

actually need more divine intelligence.

186

:

Di ooh.

187

:

So let's jump into the words.

188

:

Is that gonna preach pj?

189

:

Huh?

190

:

Is that gonna preach?

191

:

It might, man.

192

:

It might.

193

:

Let's jump into the word.

194

:

Let's hear some di sounds good.

195

:

Proverbs 10, 11, and 12

for our reading today.

196

:

You're gonna notice a shift when you get

into Proverbs 10 today, and that is that

197

:

these are proverbs, the way that most

of us think about the Book of Proverbs.

198

:

The first nine chapters

are largely thematic.

199

:

You can look at each chapter and

determine what that chapter is about.

200

:

Starting in chapter 10, it's really

difficult to draw any connections

201

:

and have any consistent themes.

202

:

For most of the rest of the book

of Proverbs you're gonna find it.

203

:

Individual statements.

204

:

Sometimes two or three lines will be

connected in the same theme, but by and

205

:

large it's gonna be a statement here.

206

:

And then changing subject to a statement

here, and then another statement there.

207

:

And that's what proverbial literature

is, even in the world's point of view.

208

:

It's not long drawn out prose that's

geared at one particular theme.

209

:

It is more poetic and

it's wisdom literature.

210

:

It's gonna be nuggets here, nuggets there.

211

:

And that's what we find

here starting in chapter 10.

212

:

And so in in chapter 10, we, we really

probably for the sake of the podcast

213

:

I think we've done this in the past,

pr just kind highlight various ones

214

:

that jump out to us from each of

these chapters rather than trying

215

:

to summarize the chapter as a whole.

216

:

'cause again, like I just said it's

hard to do that for most of these.

217

:

It's, it is, yeah.

218

:

I, there's several that stood out to me.

219

:

I'll just, I'll stick with one and not

even the one that stood out the most, just

220

:

the one that I'm looking at right now.

221

:

Hatred stirs up strife, but

love covers all offenses.

222

:

And the reason that one stood out

is because it sounds a lot like

223

:

something in the New Testament.

224

:

I love the fact that it is.

225

:

It's obvious for anybody who knows

that things, anything about having

226

:

a relationship that it's easy to

get offended, to get upset, and

227

:

to let hatred create more hatred.

228

:

Somebody has to take the blunt end of

that drama and say, I'm gonna cover that.

229

:

And it honestly is gonna be

the one who's more mature.

230

:

Doesn't mean that person has to

repeatedly expose himself, but love

231

:

covers the offense, which means that

there's most of the time an opportunity

232

:

for you to say, this is gonna come

to an end and I'm gonna take the hit.

233

:

I don't have to have the last word.

234

:

I don't have to be the kind of person to

to bring up old news in order to throw

235

:

it in your face and use it against you.

236

:

I'm just gonna cover it and let it go.

237

:

I think that's great and

helpful and poignant.

238

:

Poignant.

239

:

Thank you, poignant for us today.

240

:

It never that, that never grows

old love covers all offenses.

241

:

Yeah.

242

:

In fact, it's similar to another

proverb that's gonna be coming up

243

:

either later today or tomorrow.

244

:

I can't remember about the.

245

:

Stopping the quarrel before it

breaks out the, like the leak.

246

:

Yeah.

247

:

That's a good one.

248

:

That's happening.

249

:

And it's the same idea there.

250

:

You have the ability to stop the argument.

251

:

You have the idea, you have

the ability to stop the fight.

252

:

And We'll, I'll talk in marriage

counseling a lot about being

253

:

willing to take the l for the

sake of the unity of the marriage.

254

:

Yeah.

255

:

And that's, you may be right in

the end, but you can take the l in

256

:

this one for the sake of the fact

that you love your spouse and you

257

:

don't wanna be intention with them.

258

:

And if this is not a situation

where you need to correct a sin we

259

:

shouldn't take an L and let sin go.

260

:

Go on, un confronted, but if there's

an ability to go, okay, you know what?

261

:

That.

262

:

Okay.

263

:

You can have the last word.

264

:

I don't need to get my 2 cents in here.

265

:

Yeah, let's just reconcile

and let's move on with things.

266

:

No, let hatred stir up.

267

:

Trife.

268

:

Yeah.

269

:

That's a good thing.

270

:

Yeah.

271

:

How about verse 23?

272

:

Doing wrong is like a joke to

a fool, but wisdom is pleasure

273

:

to a man of understanding.

274

:

I.

275

:

Think about social media on this,

our entertainment industry, so much

276

:

of that celebrates wrongdoing and

turns it into a joke and thinks that

277

:

is just about being entertained by

foolishness, by sin, by debauchery.

278

:

Instead, the contrast is wisdom is

pleasure to a man of understanding.

279

:

Even First Corinthians one comes

to mind when Paul talks about.

280

:

The foolishness of the world, right?

281

:

The folly of the world that they

wanna celebrate, that the wisdom

282

:

of God, the things that, that we

take pleasure in as Christians.

283

:

The world looks at that and says, why

would you ever want to go after that?

284

:

And you think about the

world's reaction to the gospel.

285

:

Not only do they think it's foolish,

but they'll think, man it's boring.

286

:

Why would you give up your

Sundays and go to church?

287

:

Why would you read the Bible?

288

:

I've never been able to get into that.

289

:

It doesn't entertain me.

290

:

Verse 23 is saying, wisdom is

pleasure to a man of understanding.

291

:

If you have understanding,

which we understand as.

292

:

Christians comes through the spirit

in dwelling within us, then you're

293

:

gonna delight in the wisdom of God

more than you're gonna delight.

294

:

Delight in the debauchery and

foolishness of the world around you.

295

:

Chapter chapter.

296

:

Anything else in chapter 10?

297

:

I know there's a lot, but

any others that you wanted to

298

:

highlight there in chapter 10?

299

:

No.

300

:

Let's do chapter 11.

301

:

Okay.

302

:

Chapter 11.

303

:

Chapter 11.

304

:

We we, again, same situation here.

305

:

And so we have a lot of these

proverbs that are laid out here.

306

:

One common theme that we should probably

deal with now that is gonna show up time

307

:

and time again is pride and humility.

308

:

So look at verse two.

309

:

When pride comes, then comes disgrace.

310

:

With the humble is wisdom.

311

:

And so Solomon with his son,

is gonna encourage humility.

312

:

He's going to talk about

pride preceding destruction.

313

:

He's gonna talk about the prideful

man whose way is right in his own

314

:

eyes, but leads to destruction.

315

:

Those are verses that will come

across in the book of Proverbs.

316

:

And here's one in verse two, where

it's dealing with that that subject.

317

:

Verse four, how about this one?

318

:

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath.

319

:

But righteousness delivers from death.

320

:

Here you hear a little bit

of Ecclesiastes in Solomon.

321

:

Remember Solomon wrote

Ecclesiastes as well as Proverbs.

322

:

And so in Ecclesiastes, he gains all

of the riches that he possibly could.

323

:

He withheld nothing from his

eyes that his heart desired, and

324

:

in the end he said it's vanity.

325

:

And so here we're seeing a little bit

of that here he's saying it's part of

326

:

the reason it's vanity is because in

the end, riches can't overcome death.

327

:

Riches can't get you beyond the grave.

328

:

And here he's.

329

:

Specifically going after the wrath of God.

330

:

You can't pay off your debt with

God, with the riches that you

331

:

might have in your bank account.

332

:

Instead, you need a righteousness

which delivers from death.

333

:

And as Christians, we read that and

say, we need the righteousness of

334

:

Christ that delivers us from death.

335

:

I think verse 17, because it highlights

a Godly self-interest, there is such

336

:

a thing as a Godly self-interest,

and I think verse 17 showcases it.

337

:

Take a look, a man who is

kind, benefits himself.

338

:

But a cruel man hurts himself.

339

:

So it's almost as if Solomon is

saying, look, son, you could do things

340

:

a good way that are gonna benefit

you and everybody else around you.

341

:

Or you can be stupid and hurt yourself.

342

:

Which one do you want?

343

:

Don't be stupid.

344

:

And clearly you're right.

345

:

He doesn't want us to be stupid.

346

:

He's saying it's good

to be kind to people.

347

:

It's such a elementary, so basic.

348

:

We teach it to our kids in

a lot of different ways.

349

:

And yet I think we can easily forget this.

350

:

It's gonna sound a whole lot like.

351

:

Proverbs, I think 15 one, A soft answer

turns away wrath A, a harsh word.

352

:

Stir up anger.

353

:

Here he's saying, look, if you're kind,

you're gonna do good for yourself.

354

:

People like a kind person, they

like doing good to a kind person.

355

:

But if you're cruel, if you're known

for being violent or aggressive,

356

:

you're the kind of person who's

always looking to stir up a fight.

357

:

You're always just trying

to do evil things to people.

358

:

You're gonna hurt yourself.

359

:

In the end, God will see to it.

360

:

In fact, this is wisdom, but certainly

it's also righteousness and that

361

:

God will pay back the evil doer.

362

:

And so Solomon is encouraging his son.

363

:

Son, be wise and do good

to yourself by being kind.

364

:

Yep.

365

:

Chapter 12, you mentioned the word stupid.

366

:

Here's the word stupid in the Bible.

367

:

I don't let my kids use that word.

368

:

Do you let your kids use it?

369

:

We don't.

370

:

We don't.

371

:

It's a bad word.

372

:

Yeah.

373

:

Even though it's not a bad

word, scripture uses it.

374

:

This is one of those words where I would

say, look, there's a context to use it.

375

:

There's a time.

376

:

It's okay.

377

:

There's a time when, and it's

okay, and there's a time when it.

378

:

Often is not, and usually it's not.

379

:

Yeah.

380

:

As other words might be, we classify

it a little bit differently.

381

:

We still don't encourage our kids to use

it, but we'll typically say if you're

382

:

describing an in inanimate object, if

you're trying to get out the garage

383

:

door and the door won't open and you're

like, man this door is just being

384

:

stupid, versus a person being stupid.

385

:

This is talking about a person.

386

:

This is talking about a person, the fool.

387

:

Actually, whoever loves

discipline loves knowledge 12 one.

388

:

But he who hates reproof is stupid.

389

:

And they're stupid because they're

not seeing the benefit of the reproof.

390

:

They're not seeing the benefit of

the fact that the reproof is going

391

:

to be there to make them wise.

392

:

And that's a repeated theme in the book

of Proverbs, talking about how reproof

393

:

is good to the person that uses it.

394

:

We were just talking about

this in the context of.

395

:

Of our relationship and just the church

culture at large, you need the ability

396

:

in, as leaders in the church to be able

to sit down with someone and say, Hey I

397

:

have a problem with what you just did.

398

:

And I don't think what you just did

or said or the way you communicated

399

:

that was right, and you need to

hear that and we need to hear that.

400

:

And we all need this in our lives.

401

:

You need to have somebody who can put

the finger in your chest and say, I,

402

:

I don't think what you did was right.

403

:

And if you don't have that, or

if you have that and you despise

404

:

the person who does that, then.

405

:

The Bible's saying you're stupid, right?

406

:

Yeah.

407

:

In fact here's one helpful note that the

NET utilizes, NET is a NAT study Bible.

408

:

Highly recommend that we like that.

409

:

It says here the word baar.

410

:

The one that's used for stupid

is also defined as brutish.

411

:

It normally describes dumb

animals that lack intelligent

412

:

sense or intellectual sense.

413

:

Here it describes the moral fool who is

not willing to learn from correction.

414

:

He's like a dumb animal.

415

:

So the term here functions as a hypo.

416

:

Catis.

417

:

Yeah, I know how to say that word.

418

:

Yeah, that one implied comparison.

419

:

So don't be a dumb animal.

420

:

There you go.

421

:

Be a wise God-fearing man.

422

:

Speaking of dumb animal, verse 10.

423

:

You like this concept, right?

424

:

Because you're often talking about how

we treat animals, but verse 10, whoever's

425

:

righteous has regard for his beast.

426

:

So I need to take care of my dog.

427

:

Patrick deserves to get a

walk every now and then.

428

:

Patrick.

429

:

Yeah, Maverick.

430

:

Yeah.

431

:

Him too.

432

:

Yeah.

433

:

Both of them.

434

:

Yeah, both of them do.

435

:

Yeah.

436

:

Yeah.

437

:

Just an interesting one 'cause we don't

often think about the Bible, talking

438

:

about our relationship with how we should.

439

:

Treat animals, and yet here

it is in Proverbs:

440

:

I think that ha, I keep on stumbling over.

441

:

Not stumbling.

442

:

I keep on spending time with passages

like that because I just feel

443

:

like they're so often overlooked.

444

:

And yet to be an image bearer

means to have care for the

445

:

things that God cares about.

446

:

And God clearly cares

about the animal kingdom.

447

:

I.

448

:

It says he closed the grass with

lilies and with beautiful flowers.

449

:

He also cares for the birds.

450

:

If a bird falls from a

tree, he knows about it.

451

:

He knows.

452

:

And so if God cares about creation,

I can't escape for the fact that God

453

:

expects us to care about his creation

as well, because it's from him.

454

:

We are his stewards, we're his vice

regents, and so he's given us dominion

455

:

over those things to care for them.

456

:

Yeah.

457

:

He created them.

458

:

Otherwise, if they, if he didn't

care about, like why create them?

459

:

If they were just superfluous and it

didn't matter what we did with them.

460

:

Totally.

461

:

There's some that are like

that, like mosquitoes.

462

:

I don't think, I think you

can slap those, are they?

463

:

Yeah.

464

:

That's a good point.

465

:

Yeah.

466

:

Some I do call pests and I

will gladly utilize the spray.

467

:

Yeah.

468

:

As necessary.

469

:

In fact, recently I found.

470

:

A wasp nest above my garage.

471

:

And like a man, I pulled

out that raid spray.

472

:

Just nailed it.

473

:

Nailed that dude.

474

:

Yeah.

475

:

You didn't know it hit him.

476

:

You should use the gas method.

477

:

Have you seen that?

478

:

The gas.

479

:

Oh, the bowl.

480

:

You put a bowl, gas, gasoline.

481

:

I don't.

482

:

And put it up and the nest

just falls into the bowl.

483

:

I saw something about that.

484

:

Does that work?

485

:

Have you tried that?

486

:

Nope.

487

:

Nope.

488

:

The spray works much better.

489

:

I think you should try it.

490

:

Let me know.

491

:

No.

492

:

'cause I can be 20 feet

away with the spray.

493

:

That's true.

494

:

I don't have to get right

up on it with the gas.

495

:

Hey, verse 16.

496

:

The vexation of a fool is known at

once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

497

:

And this is good and this is evergreen.

498

:

I feel like that because we're so quick

to be defensive if somebody comes at

499

:

us or does something wrong to us and

this isn't even talking about notice,

500

:

this isn't talking about reproof.

501

:

This is talking about ans insult.

502

:

This is talking about somebody

that's not trying to help you, but

503

:

somebody that's your opponent and

they lob an insult at you and hear.

504

:

Solomon says, look, you can be a fool and

vent your anger right away at that person.

505

:

Or you can ignore it and shake it off and

be like, I don't have to respond to that.

506

:

I can tell you exactly when a

lot of us will encounter this.

507

:

You ready for this one when

you're driving on the road?

508

:

Yep.

509

:

And you're not going fast

enough for the guy behind you?

510

:

And so he takes his truck and he

zooms by you with the obvious intent

511

:

of saying, you're going so slow.

512

:

I can barely stand your existence.

513

:

And so they drive by you

with aggression and anger.

514

:

Everything in me wants to say, I've

got four cylinders here, buddy.

515

:

I can't go that fast, but I try so much.

516

:

I tough to talk myself down from that.

517

:

You just calm down.

518

:

You got a church sticker on your car.

519

:

It's okay.

520

:

Yeah.

521

:

You can and if I am holding up traffic,

I should move to the slow lane.

522

:

Man, I takes, it takes so much

for me to calm myself down,

523

:

but man I resonate with that.

524

:

I don't want my vation

to be known at once.

525

:

'cause that's foolish behavior.

526

:

Instead, I wanna overlook the

insults of what that guy who

527

:

drove around me is trying to say.

528

:

Yeah.

529

:

How about verse 25?

530

:

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down.

531

:

But a good word makes him glad.

532

:

I love this because it's a good reminder

of the importance of community for us as

533

:

the church that that anxiety is gonna be.

534

:

Something that all of us encounter in

battle, whether it's car troubles or

535

:

concerns about health, whatever it may be.

536

:

Work.

537

:

Kid troubles.

538

:

It's just you're going to feel anxious

and yet you need people in your life.

539

:

Health issues.

540

:

Yeah.

541

:

You need people in your life just like

that person that's gonna put their

542

:

thumb in their chest to reprove you.

543

:

Computer virus, you.

544

:

Ai, you need people in your life

that are gonna encourage you.

545

:

And that's what 25 is talking about.

546

:

It a good word, is gonna help that

person who's anxious and that good word

547

:

so often needs to be words of truth

that are pointing them back to the

548

:

realities of the Bible in scripture.

549

:

And so good wisdom there from Solomon and.

550

:

In proverb chapter 12.

551

:

Yeah.

552

:

We should be the kind of people

to deliberately say good words.

553

:

Yes.

554

:

We are just so quick to and easily

able to complain and to tell you

555

:

what's wrong with everything.

556

:

Have you ever met someone like that

who just says oh, this is awful.

557

:

That's awful, and they're

always raining on your parade.

558

:

Christians ought not to be that way.

559

:

We ought to be people of joy.

560

:

Yeah.

561

:

And that ought to be evident

in the way that we talk.

562

:

Yeah.

563

:

Randy Alcorn makes that

point in his book, happiness.

564

:

He says Christ Rainy.

565

:

Alcorn.

566

:

Randy Alcorn.

567

:

Randy.

568

:

Not rainy.

569

:

Not rainy.

570

:

Okay, Randy?

571

:

Yeah.

572

:

He says Christians should be

some of the happiest people in

573

:

the world because of our future.

574

:

Because we know what's secure.

575

:

We know what's coming, and so

part of our witness is people

576

:

seeing the joy in our life.

577

:

That's good.

578

:

So I Amen to that.

579

:

We should be, yeah.

580

:

Hey, let's pray and then we'll

be done with this episode.

581

:

God, we thank you so much for a book

like Proverbs that gives us these pithy

582

:

statements for us to hang our hat on to,

to digest, to chew on, to think about

583

:

how we can take and apply to our lives.

584

:

And so I pray that we would do that.

585

:

And we're not gonna be able to do

that with every single verse that

586

:

we read during this time, especially

as we read them more quickly.

587

:

But Lord, help us to pick one or two

and to think about how we can take

588

:

that and apply that to our life.

589

:

And so we do thank you for community.

590

:

We do thank you that we live amongst

brothers and sisters in Christ

591

:

who can speak good words to us.

592

:

And we wanna be those that do

just that for others as well.

593

:

So we pray all this in Jesus name.

594

:

Amen.

595

:

Amen.
