There's no time to lose. Say man Word on the street is you lost and you can't find your way. Is this information accurate? Yeah, yeah, I thought so.
So let me ask you, man. Would you like to find your way? Eh, no need to speak, just not.
Now, what if I was to tell you I have just what you need to help you on your way. Are you interested? Good. Good. That's the right answer.
Now tell me this. Are you familiar with a program called The masculine journey. No? Oh, that's too bad. Too bad.
Cause the guys on that show Well, they follow a very important man. Ugh. A king of kings, if you will. and if anyone could show you the way it'd be him but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do Now, you didn't hear this from me. But I just happen to have a sneak preview of their next episode.
You should really listen to him. How's that sound? Good. Good. Well check it out my man But as I look tried to look up songs that had gossip in them, Honestly, I I couldn't find a good one.
Really, the ones I could find, I couldn't edit enough to get on the air. You know, it was just so brutal, just the language that was in it. You know, it was a lot of today's music, and it had a lot of the reflection of the words they use today. You know, and but then I started, I heard this song. You know, Speak Life from Toby Mack, and I was not familiar with it, quite honestly, but I liked it because it really comes down to a couple of things.
We have choices, and you said it very well, Terry, earlier. You know, uh the power of life and death is in the tongue.
So if you're not speaking life, what are you probably speaking? Absolutely. Right? He doesn't give you a third choice there. No.
Um you know, and I I think that Um The scripture that Harold is going to share here in a minute. Are you queued up to share that in a minute? I think it speaks kind of to that as well. Go ahead, Harold. This is from Ephesians chapter 4.
I'm starting in verse 25. Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour. for we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger.
Do not give the devil an opportunity. The one who steals must steal no longer. rather he must labour, doing good with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with the one who has need. You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth. but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need.
that it may give grace to those who hear. and do not agree with the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. you must put away every kind of bitterness, anger, wrath, Quarrelling and evil. Slanderous talk. instead, be kind to one another.
compassionate. forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you. Yeah. So uh Putting gossip in with all of these other things there, it kind of tells you where it fits. Yeah.
Yeah, we're getting a little bit of evidence here. I think God doesn't like it too much. Yeah, God doesn't like it. I mean, he flat out says: look, if it's going to come out of your mouth, make sure that it's going to give grace to its hearers, to the hearers. And He even, when he lays down the Basically, the requirements of a pastor, shepherd, elder.
Um one of those is that His family is in line with These moral high ground places. And that the wife shouldn't be a gossip.
Now, he just uses that term. That's not to say that women are the only ones that are gossip. They're not. I talk about them all the time. You talk about women a lot.
No. So from The Guides of Masculine Journey, I'm Keith and we'll see you down the road.
