[347.12 --> 358.48] uneasiness he is accustomed to permanent background noise which sickens yet reassures him noise gives
[358.48 --> 362.92] him security like a drug on which he has become dependent with its festive
[362.92 --> 369.04] appearance noise of the whirlwind that avoids facing itself agitation becomes a
[369.04 --> 374.92] tranquilizer a sedative a morphine but noise is a dangerous deceptive medicine
[374.92 --> 382.48] a diabolical lie that helps man avoid confronting himself in his interior
[382.48 --> 394.24] emptiness the awakening will necessarily be brutal that's a lot on the one hand this
[394.24 --> 401.52] proliferation of noises is nothing new one of my favorite writers Henry Nowen way back in the 70s
[401.52 --> 408.40] he was a priest and a writer when he was driving through LA seeing all the signs everywhere you
[408.40 --> 413.40] know he said everywhere I looked there were words trying to take my eyes from the road and they said
[413.40 --> 422.68] use me take me buy me drink me smell me touch me kiss me sleep with me words then contain little to no
[422.68 --> 430.48] meaning and we live in the information age and I was I was thinking about that we have so much
[430.48 --> 438.14] information and a whole lot less meaning the two don't necessarily go hand in hand
[438.14 --> 445.82] now and called the noise noise the enemy of spiritual growth and I think those our seniors and those
[445.82 --> 453.22] desert fathers would agree after pastor Dave gave one of his quotes last week he said and that was
[453.22 --> 457.24] before the computers and cell phones and so it was with that now one quote that I read to you
[457.24 --> 465.34] the average person touches their phone 2,000 times per day they're on it three hours 15 minutes on
[465.34 --> 474.10] average more if you're younger and not only is social media making us miserable it's making us worse
[474.10 --> 481.24] people one research set concluded this the more time you spend on social media the more anxious you
[481.24 --> 490.34] are the more depressed you are and the meaner you become it's pretty sad I read a quote once about a
[490.34 --> 497.34] Xu in the third one comment what is cancer cause didn't you know about a normal view for you right yes
[497.34 --> 499.14] understand and all unc печniejsze烈 things but something like that you never has to do isn't
[499.14 --> 502.30] dead yet so you know my you may beивалiqui are or dead so some of my comfort кол leg and
[502.30 --> 503.42] that's you know you haven't had sistman up until 2020 and i think that it's Ahh you'll be
[503.42 --> 508.50] uh were quite the outraged ma teamwork with you over the next one and but I looked at what
[508.50 --> 511.76] Jesus Christ 말ia said Michael good health point but really well it isn't useful on how
[511.76 --> 515.16] does that if the jiwa진짜 the re серьез Roland they've been living with us around now and
[515.16 --> 516.80] yes we don't cook certain Denmark's how well it speaks to you in your life right shed
[516.80 --> 524.10] we live in a culture of outrage everybody is mad at somebody about something
[524.10 --> 531.12] and i'm not saying there aren't legitimate things to be angry about righteous anger about evil and
[531.12 --> 538.54] injustice are certainly important but our righteous anger is so easily hijacked by our egos and by the
[538.54 --> 544.84] devil himself and jesus warns again and again about the dangers of anger i just picked one verse
[544.84 --> 551.80] matthew 5 22 out of the king james verse where jesus says but i say to you that whoever is angry with
[551.80 --> 557.12] his brother or sister without a cause shall be in danger of judgment and whoever says to his brother
[557.12 --> 563.00] raka which is the swear word in a way that shall be in danger of count of the council but whoever
[563.00 --> 568.20] says you fool which doesn't sound like much shall be in danger of hellfire jesus is really saying
[568.20 --> 571.42] words matter more than you think
[571.42 --> 581.34] jesus saw there was a place for the right kind of anger which he himself displayed right we think of
[581.34 --> 586.32] him turning over the money changer tables of the temple when he was upset by that display of
[586.32 --> 597.18] greed in the temple but let's be honest a lot of our anger isn't that even if we pretend it is
[597.18 --> 606.70] it's often rooted in selfishness and loaded with contempt for the other we look down on those who think
[606.70 --> 615.90] differently those who who don't think like we do and then we elevate ourselves in our superior position
[615.90 --> 625.48] jesus brother james said it this way in james 1 he said my dear brothers and sisters take note of this
[625.48 --> 631.58] everyone should be quick to listen slow to speak and slow to become angry and i think those two
[631.58 --> 636.86] probably belong together by being slow to speak you're probably less likely to be angry because
[636.86 --> 644.00] human anger does not produce the righteousness that god desires therefore get rid of all moral
[644.00 --> 650.90] filth whatever that is and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word god planted
[650.90 --> 654.66] planted in you his words which can save you
[654.66 --> 665.60] basically jesus saying shift your position or james shift your position from speaking in anger to listening
[665.60 --> 672.90] and love which which sounds nice but it's hard to do where you don't have to spout off
[672.90 --> 684.78] and in all honesty i too often spout off just ask my kids they're all adults and if a topic comes up i feel
[684.78 --> 692.24] like i've got a lot to say and i do but i don't need to say it and too often it didn't go particularly
[692.24 --> 698.10] well and i regret it later and i'm trying to learn that and my wife is trying to teach me that
[698.10 --> 703.16] they can't carbohydrate in you know what you can learn that matter and that's right i guess it's
[703.16 --> 705.12] perfect if you say it goes forward there are millions that's right and it's nothing that's
[705.12 --> 708.44] just like i don't think that our people complete privilege can hire us from allegedly
[708.44 --> 710.94] that the people that are learning to march because our people who don't have to think that
[710.94 --> 713.08] is that for us whatever it is there you may have to think so many people will improve
[713.08 --> 716.14] and we will come up here on the web page in your website and it's the people that come down
[716.14 --> 718.20] out here Filth is youWhat are there you know if we have trouble
[718.20 --> 719.70] anyone else you need to know and go to the adultervez
[719.70 --> 725.10] I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hate so stubbornly
[725.10 --> 727.74] is because they sense once hate is gone,
[727.74 --> 730.88] they will be forced to deal with pain.
[734.76 --> 736.96] And none of us wants to deal with pain.
[738.12 --> 743.00] Behind every rant on social media or road rage or outburst
[743.00 --> 746.24] is a deep pain being suppressed.
[746.36 --> 747.34] At least that's often true.
[747.34 --> 749.66] Pain that often comes from fear.
[750.08 --> 751.06] Fear of the future.
[751.28 --> 752.10] Fear of the past.
[752.24 --> 753.24] Fear of losing control.
[753.72 --> 754.62] Fear of the other.
[754.72 --> 756.44] Fear of what others think of us.
[756.68 --> 761.12] Fear that if people actually knew us, they'd be deeply disappointed.
[763.26 --> 765.88] And all we'd be left with is shame and rejection.
[768.50 --> 770.02] Fear is designed by God.
[770.12 --> 774.50] I think designed by God is where we'll see danger and harm where it can come from.
[774.50 --> 778.88] But with sin, our fear instead of being a servant becomes our master.
[779.76 --> 781.10] Can you relate to that?
[782.46 --> 785.80] Has fear in some ways become your master instead of a servant?
[786.76 --> 792.00] And then the fear sabotages our deepest desires and fills us with anxiety.
[792.00 --> 796.26] I mean, how many people nowadays talk about anxiety?
[796.58 --> 799.16] I think when I grew up, I don't think we ever used the word.
[803.34 --> 805.10] And then we think things.
[805.14 --> 806.20] And I've thought it too, right?
[806.22 --> 808.30] Who can love me if they really knew me?
[810.50 --> 813.42] 1 John 4.18 says this.
[813.42 --> 817.96] There is no fear in love.
[821.12 --> 824.50] Perfect love drives out fear.
[824.94 --> 826.74] Because love has to do with punishment.
[827.78 --> 831.08] The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
[831.14 --> 833.02] In other words, you're a work in progress.
[834.30 --> 835.84] You've got some thinking to do.
[835.84 --> 837.92] You know, I look at my life.
[839.78 --> 840.82] And I have to be honest.
[840.90 --> 844.00] I see how much fear pushed me into some unhealthy living.
[844.90 --> 848.80] Some of that came out of growing up with a dad who had profound anger issues.
[849.60 --> 851.10] He was a loving guy in so many ways.
[851.18 --> 853.18] But he had lots and lots of rage.
[855.76 --> 856.44] And you learned.
