PROVERBS ~ "This Is How We Do It"
(Week 4) - Proverbs 26:17-22
Nathan Deisem
Proverbs 26: 17-22
17 Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
• “Wise people stay out of other people’s quarrel, & avoid those who don’t!”
o MIND YOUR BUISNESS! ~ Every Mom Ever
o Meddle – Excite Oneself – Becomes Furious – Passes Over To – etc…
• Ancient Israelites did not have pet dogs!
• It’s Stupid and Dangerous – Kills relationships & churches
18 Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death.
19 So is a person who has deceived his neighbor, and says,“Was I not only joking?” - (Eph. 5:4)
• “Wise people avoid deceptive, maniacal, sleazy, excuse makers!”
o “I was only joking! Can’t you take a joke?” – This is wrong!!!
• This kind of person is FULLY INSANE, because everyone knows they are full of it accept them!
o Don’t be a person who people need to constantly second guess your word, - “Are you kidding me?”
20 Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, And where there is no gossip, contention ceases.
• “Wise people avoid Gossip and Gossipers!”
o Ministry Phrase: “Blessed Subtraction” – Glad to see you go!
Gossip – Whisperer – Tale Bearer (talks behind people’s backs)
• Gossip destroys relationships and churches fast!
21 Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.
• “Wise people avoid those who like to bicker, quarrel, and fight!”
o (Notice I didn’t say argue) – Not all conflict is quarrelsome or bickering!
22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
And they have gone down into a person’s innermost being.
• “Wise people don’t buy what the Gossip is selling!”
o GOSSIP – Everyone hates it … no one thinks that they themselves do it!
“Choice Morsels” – It is nearly irresistible!
• GOSSIP is harmful to your soul/heart to consume!
o Beware of gossip wrapped in concern/prayer/etc…
CONCLUSION
1. Wise people stay out of other people’s quarrel, & avoid those who don’t!
o It is God’s divine wisdom to mind one’s own business!
2. Wise people avoid deceptive, maniacal, sleazy, excuse makers!
o This person should be avoided at all cost!
3. Wise people avoid Gossiping and Gossipers!
o It tears down – it never builds up! Watch out for it!
4. Wise people avoid those who like to bicker, quarrel, and fight!
o Some people search for a fight – We are called to be agents of peace!
5. Wise people don’t buy what the Gossiper is selling!
o It feels good but it is bad for you!
