  Speaker 1: So a friend just messaged me and mentioned Milo Yiannopoulos
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and how he was recently deported from the United States
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: back to the UK. And I've been thinking about this
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for a very long time, about how the news is
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: just gossip. And the fact that I even know that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Milo was deported is crazy. I don't need to know
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that information. How does that affect my life? How does
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that affect my walk with the Lord? How does that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: edify me? How does that grow me in Christ? But first,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor. It's a colossal waste of time.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And I know I'm speaking from a place of I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: use social media. I actually use it very sparingly because
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I've come to realize over, I think over the last
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: six months or a year, I've just realized 99% of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: social media is just gossip. And not only that, 99%
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of the news, of the New York Times is gossip.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: For example, the Lindsay case, the Clancy case. there is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: absolutely the woman who murdered her three children. There is
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: no reason on God's green earth why that story is
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in my brain. Why do I need to know about
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that story? That story should be between her, her husband,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and the courts. No one else should know about that story.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And you may say, oh, well, we need to know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: about women and postpartum. No, that is a private story
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and it should just be kept among those people who
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: were involved in that story. Literally, there's no reason for
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: me to know that. Why do I need that? And
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the John Galliano story, John Galliano's a famous fashion designer,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and he was canceled many years ago because of his
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: rants at a Parisian where he went off about Jews
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and et cetera, et cetera. And he was canceled. He
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was about to have a retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of Art in New York. And the New York Times
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: has just been furiously writing articles about how he was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: canceled and the show was canceled. It's like, number one,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't even know about that story. I shouldn't know
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: about John Galliano's psychotic break. There's no reason for me
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to know that. And I don't know. The more I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: thinking about social media, the more I'm thinking about the news,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the more I'm thinking about podcasts. I mean, like Tucker Carlson.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Why do I need to know what the drama between
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and this person and that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: person is and who's fighting whom? It's absolutely... absurd. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if it's not, if it's not edifying you, if it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not leading people to Christ, if it's not edifying other Christians,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: then there is absolutely no reason for it to be
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in our brains. We should be, as my pastor used
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to say, we should be gossiping the gospel. Like that's Really,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we should be gossiping the good news. All the other stuff,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: like I'm just going to read a couple headlines today,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: right now. In the New York Times, there's an article.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: This is a headline in the New York Times. Ex-girlfriend
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of three married billionaire, thrice, I'm sorry, ex-girlfriend of thrice
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: married billionaire sues over, quote, broken promises. Now, why in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the world do I need to know about this person?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What does that have to do with my life? That
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is gossip. The New York Times is gossiping. That's all
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it is. And it's all to keep us in the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: state of kind of outrage and anger. I mean, I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: outraged by the outrage. But I'm just saying we don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: have to live like this. And I don't even... I mean,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: if I didn't have.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: My show, my podcast. And if I didn't have a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: book coming out in the next year, February of 2027,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I probably would delete all my social media accounts because
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I find I'm finding more and more that, uh, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't new news. This is old news,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but it's just, I'm realizing that it's really, it's really
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: just kind of this national or international pacifier. And instead
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of going to social media, uh, We should go to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: this book, which is called The Bible, and read that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: instead of social media. And by the way, I'm preaching
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to myself as well. Here's another. Let me look at
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: another headline. Let's see. Here's another headline in The New
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: York Times right now. Musicians sue AI music company for
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: imitating their voices. Okay.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Again, that story should be between the musicians and the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: AI company, period, and their lawyers. Nobody needs to know this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: There's no reason that anyone needs to know. Here's, oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: let's see. Let me find another just pointless headline. We'll
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: be right back after this short break. Here's the John Galliano.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Here's an analysis. This is analysis. This is an opinion piece.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Was John Galliano ever really canceled? Not by the fashion crowd.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: This may be the end of the Costume Institute's exhibition
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of the designer's work, but it's not likely to be
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the end of his career. So, what? Like, why do
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I need to know that? There's no reason. And, uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: let's see if I can find any other pointless stories. Um.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: There's a story, you know, a Canadian car theft epidemic
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: fueled by Russian sanctions. Like that should be a local
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: story in Canada, maybe so they can like protect their
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: own cars, you know, or put a, uh, whatever, lock
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: them up. But, uh, that doesn't, I, again, it doesn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: help me. It doesn't, I don't need to know that information.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: There's no reason I should know it. Uh, And I love,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you know, in the New York Times every day, they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: have a section called Catch Up on Today's Biggest Stories.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: A generational clash in Massachusetts, rising borrowing costs and Yo-Yo
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Ma's expanding reach. And I think this is kind of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like important news, important breaking stories. And it's, again, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: would say 95% of the stories in the New York
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Times is gossip. 99% of the posts on social media
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: is gossip. And I just want to read Philippians chapter four,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: where Paul says the following. Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: if there's anything worthy of praise, Think about these things.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: What you have learned and received and heard and seen
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in me. Practice these things and the God of peace
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: will be with you. This social media, the news, it's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all there to rob us of our peace. And Satan
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: loves it. Satan loves that we're all scrolling, doom scrolling,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He loves that we're anxious. He loves that we're distracted.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He loves that we're not reading our Bibles. He loves
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that we're not communing with the creator of the universe.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: He loves that we're ignoring our time with the most
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: amazing person of all time, Jesus Christ. I mean, why?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Satan loves us. I always say this. I say this
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: about other things, but Satan is laughing all the way
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to the bank. And so I urge all of you,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm, and I urge myself to just stop
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and gossip the gospel. Just gossip the gospel. Don't talk
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: about other people. Don't talk about Milo. Don't talk about
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, whatever. Just gossip the gospel. That's my final word. Wait,
