Transcript
- 0:00This might surprise you, but when I was a fresher at
- 0:04university, I was probably one of the worst students on the
- 0:08campus. I was the guy, literally first
- 0:11week of freshers week, who heckled the lecturers trying to
- 0:15look like I was some cool, funny guy.
- 0:18But really, I just had a big chip on my shoulder.
- 0:20I was trying to to look like I was popular.
- 0:23I was loud. This mouth was so rude.
- 0:26I used to say things to the girls.
- 0:29I used to be a flirt, all kinds of things.
- 0:32In my first year, I was not a very nice person, very arrogant.
- 0:35That's what I was known for, being arrogant, starting fights,
- 0:38all of that kind of stuff. Anyway, in the summer, the Lords
- 0:42brought me back to himself. It was actually for a
- 0:46chastisement. I had a problem with the the
- 0:50bone in my ankle, something called a vascular necrosis,
- 0:54which basically means death to the bone.
- 0:57And what basically can happen is when your bone loses the blood
- 1:02supply, then the joint can collapse and that's it.
- 1:06You're on a on a stick, You've got a walking stick.
- 1:09And now in the end, I prayed for the Lord to heal me.
- 1:13And I do believe there was a healing because for some reason
- 1:16I've got no problem there. And at the time I was struggling
- 1:19to walk. When I went back to university,
- 1:22I knew I had a lot of making up to do.
- 1:26I had to show people that I was a Christian now.
- 1:30And you know what? It was one of the greatest
- 1:32testimonies, despite, you know, what the Lord has done on
- 1:35YouTube, despite doing evangelism and preaching in
- 1:39churches, What God did at university in that second year,
- 1:45I just give all the glory to him.
- 1:47And there was a verse actually, that that helped me through all
- 1:51of this. This was the verse that that
- 1:53really changed everything. In Proverbs 17, verse 28, it
- 1:58says even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace.
- 2:04When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
- 2:09So what was my secret to how I showed everyone that I'd
- 2:13changed, That the Lord had done a work?
- 2:15Suddenly this mouth which had got me into all kinds of
- 2:17trouble, this arrogant mouth, I was just quiet.
- 2:21I was silent all of the time. I would only speak when it was
- 2:25absolutely necessary. And I did tell people I'd come
- 2:28back to the Lord. In fact, what makes this even
- 2:30worse is in my fresher year, people knew that I was a
- 2:33supposed Christian. And it was like, why are you as
- 2:36a Christian acting like this? But you know when it says that
- 2:40even a fool is is counted wise when he holds his peace, when he
- 2:44doesn't open his mouth. I actually remember it was so I
- 2:48was doing this so much that, you know, these same lecturers that
- 2:51I would hackle sometimes when I was so quiet, they would
- 2:54actually stop their lecture and say, Joe, what's your opinion on
- 2:58this? And one said, you know Joe,
- 3:00you've always seemed like you're quite wise and the
- 3:03transformation was just incredible in what in what God
- 3:06did in that time. And I suppose the the greatest
- 3:10testimony is this. I remember 2 girls coming up to
- 3:12me and saying, Joe, you've changed so much, basically God
- 3:18has done a work in you. And one of them said you're just
- 3:21so quiet and and shy and nice now.
- 3:25And anyway, I just want maybe you to consider this because
- 3:29there is actually an art to hold in your tongue.
- 3:33There is actually a reason why you shouldn't tell people
- 3:35everything, why you shouldn't tell people what you're up to,
- 3:38why you shouldn't give your opinions all of the time.
- 3:40But why, as a Christian, it's very, very important actually to
- 3:45sometimes be the quietest person in the room.
- 3:49So on that note, you know what time it is?
- 3:51It's time for a a cup of Joe. So I've got my coffee today.
- 3:56It's just the same coffee that we're on.
- 3:58I think it's an Italian one from booths, so please do pause the
- 4:03video at this point. Put on the kettle.
- 4:07If you're having black coffee with me, please do.
- 4:12Maybe you're a cup of tea fan, or maybe you just want to to get
- 4:15a fizzy drink. A soda?
- 4:17Whatever it is, pause the video. Have a drink with me, because
- 4:20we're going to have a look at this idea of holding our tongues
- 4:24and coming to the Lord quietly. OK, another verse I'd like to
- 4:28read to you. If you've got a Bible there,
- 4:30please would you turn to Ecclesiastes chapter 5 and verse
- 4:343? And if you're a bit embarrassed
- 4:50you can't find it, don't worry, I can't find it either.
- 4:53I knew it was after the proverbs, but when you're on
- 4:56camera and sometimes when you preach at the front, your mind
- 4:58starts to second guess yourself and you're thinking, is this
- 5:01correct? Can't get this wrong in front of
- 5:03all these people. OK, Ecclesiastes 5, verse 3 for
- 5:10a dream comes through much activity and a fool's voice is
- 5:15known by his many words. If you were going to write
- 5:20something down today, please write this down.
- 5:23Empty vessels make a lot of noise.
- 5:27Empty vessels make a lot of noise.
- 5:36This is actually something that I did learn at university.
- 5:39One of the lecturers taught me this phrase and what he meant by
- 5:42that was, you know, sometimes people who might not be the the
- 5:47sharpest tool might not be the brightest smart spark.
- 5:49I I can hold my hand up and say that about myself, that they are
- 5:53so full of their own opinions, so full of their own ideas.
- 5:57Often they can make a lot of noise, you know, lots of shouts.
- 5:59And just like if, you know, this coffee pot was empty and I put a
- 6:04little piece of gravel, a little stone in it and make a lot of
- 6:06noise as you shake it around. And it's so with these people
- 6:09who they don't have much going on inside.
- 6:12There's not much depth to them, and yet they're so loud.
- 6:15They're so vocal. I don't want to be that person,
- 6:18and I know you don't want to be that person either.
- 6:22Something else that's quite interesting.
- 6:24And now I would love to know what country you're watching
- 6:28this from in the world. Please just let me know in the
- 6:30comment box, But if you don't know yet, I'm from the north of
- 6:34England and in England we also have a north-south divide and
- 6:40something that Southerners often will say about Northerners,
- 6:42which I've got to say, the stereotype is true.
- 6:46When you meet a Northerner within the 1st 5 minutes of
- 6:49talking to them, they'll tell you their entire life story.
- 6:53They'll tell you all the people who've wronged them, any
- 6:55childhood pain, the man who left them, the person who did this,
- 6:59the the man who did. They'll tell you absolutely
- 7:01everything. Where they live, how old this
- 7:03house has been, what job they worked, absolutely everything
- 7:06within the 1st 5 minutes. And you think, well, just hold
- 7:09on a second. You know some of these things, I
- 7:12can't believe you're telling me these things.
- 7:13Some of these things are so private and yet we need to just
- 7:18be aware that we don't have to share everything.
- 7:21I don't know if that's something in your own culture that people
- 7:23do and it is good to wear your heart and your sleeve.
- 7:26We do want to be transparent, but at the same time just just
- 7:30hold back. Something is it should just be
- 7:33between you and your spouse. Something should be just between
- 7:37you and your family. Some things that should just be
- 7:40between you and the Lord. I always remember one of the
- 7:44holiest men I know. I've said this before, There are
- 7:46two holy men I've come across in all of my life, and one of them
- 7:52was my father. And I shouldn't really say that
- 7:54publicly because it sounds like I'm boasting.
- 7:56But he honestly was the greatest example of a man of God, so
- 8:02consistent in his quiet times. Again, completely opposite to
- 8:06me, quite a quiet man, just very wise and just, yeah, the way you
- 8:11love my mother. Just a wonderful example.
- 8:15You know, that's the greatest gift the Lord's given me is, is
- 8:17godly parents. And the second one was an elder
- 8:22at the church that I I used to attend.
- 8:24I won't name his name publicly and I remember he once said from
- 8:28the pulpit. And it really struck me.
- 8:31There are some things that I cannot even tell my wife.
- 8:36There are some things that I struggle with that I can only
- 8:39tell the Lord. And I think there is a lesson in
- 8:42that. There's nothing wrong in that.
- 8:44Sometimes there are things, there are burdens that are too
- 8:47big, that there are stones, if you like, just like the Lord
- 8:50God. He rolled away that stone just
- 8:52just when Jesus, you know, rose from the dead, he moved it.
- 8:56No man could move that stone away.
- 8:58There was no man in his body that could push it away.
- 9:01Only God could push it away. And sometimes there are some big
- 9:05stones in our lives that only God can push away and that's why
- 9:09we give it to him. Now, the reason I'm doing this
- 9:13video today is because I've actually had quite a bad day.
- 9:17So I'm having a coffee with you. But there's a verse for today
- 9:21that I really want to share with you that I need to hear today.
- 9:24And perhaps as someone watching today who needs to hear this.
- 9:26Verse two, it's Proverbs 29, Verse 11.
- 9:30I'll just have a little bit of coffee while you turn there.
- 9:32Proverbs 29, verse 11. Proverbs 29, verse 11.
- 9:45A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back.
- 9:51Now why do I need to share that verse with you today?
- 9:55So today someone said some very slanderous things about me.
- 10:03Yeah, some things that just aren't true.
- 10:05And this person's been doing this for a for a while now.
- 10:09And there's a big part of me when I first saw, oh, he's done
- 10:12it again, he's done it again. There was a massive part of me
- 10:15that just wanted to, you know, basically publicly shaming
- 10:20because, you know, in my flesh thinking, you know, I could say
- 10:24this to that person. I could say that that would
- 10:26stump him. He wouldn't know what to do.
- 10:28And even there was a part of me that, yeah, just wanted to say
- 10:32just to, yeah, I won't go there. But you know what I'm thinking?
- 10:37And I was just very, very angry. But this verse has really hit me
- 10:42today that a wise man holds them back at times.
- 10:47There are times we just want to make that person who's made us
- 10:50look stupid. We want to just wipe the floor
- 10:53with them. We want to railroad them.
- 10:55We want to show them that. How dare you mess with me.
- 10:59You're messing with me. Do you know who I am?
- 11:01Do you know? Do you not think I've got a
- 11:02sharp mind? Do you not think I can stick up
- 11:04for myself? All these prideful, sinful,
- 11:07arrogant thoughts bubble up. But then we remember the Lord
- 11:11Jesus Christ who was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
- 11:15Quiet like a sheep before, as shearers, is silent.
- 11:18There was no guy on his mouth. He was quiet.
- 11:21And at times we need to be that wise man that the Proverbs talks
- 11:25about. We We need to be quiet, and we
- 11:27need to remember if this person is speaking wrong about us.
- 11:31Know this Vengeance is mine, save the Lord.
- 11:35And if they've done injustice to us, the Lord will act justly and
- 11:40something will happen to that person.
- 11:42Something will come into that person's life.
- 11:44If they're a believer, the Lord will chastise them like I was
- 11:47chastised, or something will happen at some point.
- 11:51We believe in a God that is just.
- 11:53And yet, if it is true for what this person's saying, there's
- 11:58also a time for us to reflect and quietly think.
- 12:05Is what that person said accurate?
- 12:08Is there any truth in this? Why is the Lords allowed this to
- 12:12happen? Maybe I need to just quietly
- 12:14reflect and think. Am I in the wrong here?
- 12:18So there is a lot of wisdom in in in holding back.
- 12:23Now the key verse. OK, another really key verse for
- 12:27today that I want to share with you is again in the book of
- 12:31Proverbs. I really recommend if you've not
- 12:34made yourself familiar, familiar with the book of Proverbs, then
- 12:39please just just read through it.
- 12:41Just everyone who I've known that's had some level of wisdom
- 12:46has really been familiar with the book of Proverbs.
- 12:50And it's something, again, I know I'm talking a lot about
- 12:52university. I had a tape, like, not even
- 12:55like ACD, literally an old fashioned, like cassette tape
- 13:00that I played in my old banger of a car.
- 13:02And I just played it on repeat over and over again.
- 13:06The Proverbs being read out until it's sunk in.
- 13:09And these verses, you know, they become part of you and and you
- 13:12need those things. You need those lessons because
- 13:15we need to act wisely. So Proverbs 10, verse 19, just
- 13:21look at that with me, please. In the multitude of words sin is
- 13:27not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
- 13:42And I would like to suggest to you, today there are four ways
- 13:47that we can speak too much and thus cause sin in the multitude
- 13:52of words. We can commit transgressions by
- 13:55speaking too much. The first one is this.
- 13:59You want to write this down. Religious boasting We have, we
- 14:05all have this idea inside of us that if we somehow tell people
- 14:10what we're up to, if we tell people, you know, all of our
- 14:14Christian activity, somehow that's making us seem more holy,
- 14:19Somehow people will think better of us.
- 14:21Whether it's fasting, you know, you know, you might say, you
- 14:24know, I'm fasting this week because I'm, I'm wrestling with
- 14:26the Lord over a particular issue.
- 14:28We like to share these things, don't we?
- 14:31Some people say, oh, this morning the Lord woke me up at
- 14:344:00 AM And I went into the prayer closet and I prayed and I
- 14:38met with the Lord God. And it was wonderful.
- 14:41And other people might say, oh, I've been out in the open air
- 14:44this week. You know, I was there and I was
- 14:46preaching the gospel and I was letting people know.
- 14:48And and you know, there was 4 decisions for the Lord and many
- 14:51souls were saved. And you know, we emptied hell
- 14:54that day because we went out and we took the gospel out.
- 14:57Or some people in this modern world, they might say, oh, I put
- 15:01out this video and I got 10,000 views on the video.
- 15:04All glory to God. Look what God is doing.
- 15:07And the question needs to be asked when they're saying these
- 15:10things. And I could be wrong in this.
- 15:12I might be, you know, wrongly speaking now.
- 15:15But are they really giving glory to God when they're saying these
- 15:19things? Or are they actually trying to
- 15:21draw attention to themselves to bring some kind of validation
- 15:25that, wow, you got 10,000 views on a video.
- 15:29Wow, you led 4 souls to the Lord.
- 15:31Wow, you're you're fasting or I haven't fasted in a while.
- 15:34You really are a man of God. You really are a woman of gods.
- 15:39And then there's something else that we tend to do as well, that
- 15:42there is a danger and it's name dropping.
- 15:45Sometimes we might like to say, oh, the pastor came over to
- 15:49visit me, or, you know, there's that respectable Christian, that
- 15:53evangelist or that missionary, and, oh, they've been writing to
- 15:56me. Or, oh, I've got his number and
- 15:58he's been texting me. I was on the phone to name a
- 16:01famous preacher. We do like to name drop, don't
- 16:04we? And yet the Bible says that God
- 16:06is no respecter of persons. God hates it when we look at
- 16:10another person and put them up on a pedestal, because he alone
- 16:15deserves the glory. He alone is the one that we
- 16:18should worship. Another verse that is really
- 16:22applicable to this. We're actually now in the
- 16:24Gospels, Matthew chapter Matthew chapter 6.
- 16:27If you turn there with me, Matthew 6, the Sermon of the
- 16:30Mount and verses 16 to 18, please would you read that with
- 16:34me? Moreover, when you fast, do not
- 16:44be like the hypocrites with a sad countenance, for they
- 16:48disfigure their faces, that they may be appear to be fasting.
- 16:53Assuredly, I say to you, they have their rewards.
- 16:57But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so
- 17:03that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father,
- 17:08who is in the secret place. And your Father, who sees in
- 17:12secret, will reward openly. Do you see the lesson there?
- 17:18When we fast, we just do it private, just on our own.
- 17:22It's just me and you, Lord. And if there is a blessing to
- 17:26come, if there is an answer to prayer, the Lord will reward us
- 17:29openly and everyone will see about it again.
- 17:32I remember Precious Preacher years ago when I was a very,
- 17:38very young man and I was doing open air work.
- 17:40I'm not boasting as I say that, but we were doing an open air
- 17:44mission week and the preacher at the front said if you've got
- 17:49your quiet time and your meeting with the Lord privately and
- 17:52you're praying, the private will soon become public because
- 17:56everyone will be able to tell what's inside you out of the
- 17:59abundance of the heart. So the mouth speaks and if you
- 18:02are spending time in private with the Lord, everyone will be
- 18:05able to tell. So don't be the the kind of
- 18:08Christian who's like, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
- 18:10Even preachers, we see preachers and they they do they disfigure
- 18:14their faces. They oh, I'm, I'm so sad that
- 18:17you know I won't do impressions. But they act like, you know,
- 18:19they they they put on a fake cry or they put on a fake feat of
- 18:24anger. If those emotions come, let them
- 18:27come. Let the Lord.
- 18:28Let the Holy Spirit work. There's nothing wrong with
- 18:30emotions in the pulpit. We're emotional creatures.
- 18:33The Lord's made us that way. But don't force it out.
- 18:37Just let these things come naturally.
- 18:39And I think that's what the scripture's trying to say here.
- 18:42OK, #2. Anxiety and negativity, OK,
- 18:47that's something that we can often do with our mouths.
- 18:49Or we speak all kinds of things that aren't helpful and we need
- 18:53to stop moaning, don't we? I am.
- 18:57I hold my hands up. And I I do admit this is me all
- 19:02over. I am someone who is very
- 19:04anxious, who does worry. And I know that when I enter
- 19:08into a conversation, if I've had a bad week, and particularly if
- 19:12I'm on my own, like we talked about in one of my last videos,
- 19:15and we're talking about being isolated.
- 19:17If I'm on my own, I find myself in this negative spiral.
- 19:22And so when I do go out and meet people, I can often pour out all
- 19:26of my anxieties, all of my worries, and that's not a
- 19:29helpful thing to do. Now there are friends, praise
- 19:32the Lord, there are friends and family members who we can trust
- 19:35and we can be totally honest with.
- 19:37And I would recommend if you are hurting inside, please do speak
- 19:41to those people. But don't just go around all the
- 19:44time talking. Have you heard about this that's
- 19:46going on? Have you heard about this
- 19:48celebrity of what that person's doing?
- 19:50Have you heard about this? And it's always just so negative
- 19:53all the time. The scripture says death and
- 19:57life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it
- 20:03will eat its fruit. So what am I trying to say?
- 20:07I'm just trying to say that there's life in this tongue.
- 20:10We can encourage people, we can help them.
- 20:13You know, one of the best things you can do to to be a good
- 20:17friend or to be a loving person is just ask people how was your
- 20:21week and listen to them. If they want to be negative and
- 20:24offload, that's great. If they need to do that, that's
- 20:26great. But what we're trying to do as
- 20:28believers is we're trying to just be that positive light, to
- 20:33show them there is life in US. There's eternal life.
- 20:35The Lord God is. It is living inside of me.
- 20:38Here is the life of God living in the soul of man.
- 20:42And God has saved me and so I have a joy, I have a hope and I
- 20:45just want to share it with the whole world.
- 20:49OK And the 3rd way that we can sort of speak too much and and
- 20:54act sinfully is through rude humor.
- 20:57Please just tell me is there too many Bible verses in this?
- 21:00Now obviously the the most powerful thing we have is the
- 21:03scripture, but just tell me if I've got you flicking around too
- 21:06much and you just want me to stick to a few.
- 21:08Please let me know in the comments section.
- 21:10But Ephesians 5, verse 4, this is a very challenging verse,
- 21:18neither filthiness nor foolish talking nor coarse jesting which
- 21:24are not fitting but rather giving thanks.
- 21:27So here the Apostle Paul is talking to the Church of Ephesus
- 21:31and he gives a whole list of of sins that should not be named
- 21:34among the Saints that Christians should not be doing.
- 21:38And one of them is that kind of rude humour.
- 21:44I'm going to share something again, very personal with you.
- 21:47As you can probably tell, this is just really me talking as a
- 21:51friend to a friend. But two of my very good friends
- 21:57recently were were talking and one of my friends said something
- 22:03that was, you know, a bit close to the edge, a bit close to the
- 22:07knuckle, a bit rude. And my other friend said,
- 22:11listen, you cannot say, and it was about me as well.
- 22:14It was to do with me. He said you cannot say that to
- 22:17Joe, You know, he will not find that funny.
- 22:20And then the other friend said, yeah, the old Joe.
- 22:23You couldn't say that kind of thing in front of the old, old
- 22:26Joe, but this Joe now, I think he'd probably find it funny and
- 22:32that probably out of anything this year, that's probably been
- 22:35the most challenging sign that I'm not where I once was.
- 22:42And I need to sort it out because maybe in the last couple
- 22:46of years I have got a bit too involved with what we call lad
- 22:49banter. And I have got a bit, you know,
- 22:52silly. And some of the things that I've
- 22:54been laughing at have not been honourable before the Lord I
- 22:58even remember, I don't know if you you, you have been watching
- 23:00the the main channel for many years off the Curve Ministries.
- 23:04Remember back in 2020 I did a video and it was about the
- 23:07things that we shouldn't say as Christians and one of them was
- 23:11Bible jokes. Because I truly do believe, you
- 23:14know, when we laugh at the word of God and we make these jokes,
- 23:16you know, we say things, even just trivial things, and we're
- 23:20laughing at them. I think it does it it it it
- 23:23brings down the word of God and it makes it less honourable and
- 23:28it gives Chris a non Christians permission to not take the word
- 23:31of God seriously. And yet I found myself even
- 23:34making a few Bible jokes myself and maybe even in some of the
- 23:37videos recently and I just want to publicly apologise for that
- 23:42and I need to get myself sorted. So over to you.
- 23:46Are you someone in? When you're at work, When you're
- 23:51you know you're with your your friends, your mates?
- 23:54Do you say rude things? Do you say silly jokes?
- 23:57Do you take the word of God? Irreverently?
- 24:00The Bible says here we we mustn't.
- 24:03Now that doesn't mean we can't have a sense of humour, you
- 24:05know, There's clean sense of humour and there's nothing more
- 24:08wonderful than having a good, a good chuckle.
- 24:11Butty, as my friend Vinny Commons would say, there's
- 24:13nothing better than having a good laugh with friends.
- 24:16And there is, you know, a holy sense of humour.
- 24:20You know we can joke about having a cup of Joe.
- 24:23I know that's not that funny, but I find it funny.
- 24:25But you know what I mean? We can joke about things like
- 24:27that. There's nothing wrong with with
- 24:29having a good laugh. The Lord made humour.
- 24:32And I do believe in the Garden of Eden before the Fall.
- 24:36I believe Adam and Eve would have laughed.
- 24:38I believe it's not a product of the Fall having a sense of
- 24:40humour. No, Laughter is is a gift from
- 24:43God. So let's enjoy it.
- 24:44But let's make sure our laughter is wholesome.
- 24:48OK, #4, I'm not going to talk on this for very long at all, but
- 24:52it's gossiping, as you know. I've made a full video on that,
- 24:55and I'll tell you where that is in a in a moment's time.
- 24:59But we're going to turn back to Ecclesiastes.
- 25:01Ecclesiastes chapter 10 and verse 20.
- 25:06Do not curse the king, even in your thoughts.
- 25:10Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom, for a bird of the
- 25:14air may carry your voice and a bird in flight may tell the
- 25:19matter. As I said, I've talked about
- 25:21this in the other video, but it is this, this imagery, isn't it?
- 25:24That if you're just gossiping, if you're, you know, running
- 25:28your mouth and talking about someone, the Bible's saying,
- 25:32now, this won't literally happen, but it's using a
- 25:33metaphor. A bird might just hear what
- 25:36you've got to say, might just gather it in its wings, fly off
- 25:39and it'll fly and sit on the windowsill of the person that
- 25:42you're gossiping about and suddenly they'll hear.
- 25:45In other words, gossip often gets back to the person.
- 25:49I've got a very good friend and one day he was working and he'd
- 25:54done a full day's work. It was a manual job.
- 25:57He was really, really tired. And his boss is driving him and
- 26:02his other Co workers, his other work colleagues home in the back
- 26:05of the van. And then his boss just says, oh,
- 26:07actually, there is another job, come on, we've got an come on,
- 26:11can we just do another hour? Let's just do another job.
- 26:14And you know, it's getting late now, it's like 6:00 and and the
- 26:17guys are just ready to eat some food, to have their their tea,
- 26:20their dinner. They're really hungry.
- 26:22And so my friends, who was a Christian, started texting his
- 26:27other friends saying, oh, he's so selfish.
- 26:30He's such a rubbish boss. He's this, he's that, he's he's
- 26:34lazy. We always do all of this and
- 26:36said some really horrible things about him.
- 26:38And and then presses send suddenly ping the boss's phone
- 26:43goes off. Oh, oh, it's a it's a message
- 26:46from you that's interesting. Oh, wow.
- 26:52Well, that's hurtful. Wow.
- 26:54You really think that about me, do you?
- 26:57And by accident, my friend had text the message to this boss of
- 27:01his. And of course, guilt came over
- 27:04him, and he regretted all that he'd said.
- 27:07The point is this gossip does get back to people often, and we
- 27:10just need to be very careful what we say.
- 27:13So that's my list of four things, four ways where we can
- 27:17tell people too much, what we're up to, where we can, you know,
- 27:20say some sinful things, and how our our mouth can get us into
- 27:24all kinds of trouble. So let me ask you now, what
- 27:27might you add to this list? What would you put on on your
- 27:30list? What?
- 27:31What kind of things do you think can get us into trouble?
- 27:34Is there anything I've missed? Please just leave it in the
- 27:37comments section and then also please do let me know what kind
- 27:49of videos you would like me to make in the future.
- 27:52As you know I'm I'm going to let you into a big secret now.
- 27:55And this is for those of you who stuck around right to the end.
- 27:58You're the true true friends of this ministry.
- 28:02I'm only teasing. The other guys are great too.
- 28:04But I will tell you this, I actually am enjoying these
- 28:08videos more than my main channel.
- 28:09I really do look forward to making these, not only because I
- 28:12get to drink coffee, but I just really just find it.
- 28:16You know, this this literally took me 20 minutes to do and I
- 28:19can just share some things with you and just share the scripture
- 28:23versus my other video that I've filmed just this morning.
- 28:26It took me 3 days to to research, to get it all together
- 28:30and that's before the editing. So I'm really enjoying this
- 28:33channel and I really hope the Lord will bless it and I hope
- 28:36it's blessing you. So please just pray for this
- 28:38work. And yes, please do let me know
- 28:41if there's anything you would like me to cover in the future,
- 28:45because any topic I'm, I'm willing to do it.

- 28:50subscribe. And if you would like to see
- 28:52that video all about gossiping, I'll put it up here on the
