Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

Well, God bless you to joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today.

I like to start with something funny and I heard about this pastor and this song leader.

They weren't getting along. It started to spill over into the services. One Sunday morning the pastor spoke on being willing to change.

Afterwards, the song leader got up and led the song, I shall not be moved.

Next week, the pastor spoke about being a giver. The song leader got up and led the song, Jesus paid it all.

Next week, pastor talked about night gossiping, watching your tongue. The song leader got up and led the song, I love to tell the story.

Pastor got so frustrated, he resigned. Told the congregation, Jesus brought me here and Jesus is taking me away.

The song leader then led, what a friend we have in Jesus.

Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be talked the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about not fueling the fire. We all have opportunities to make people look bad.

We hear rumors and things that we don't know for sure are true, but it's tempting to repeat them.

It's not that we're a bad person, we're just telling what we heard. Or maybe we know something about a person that is true.

They made a mistake. They had a failure. It's easy to justify telling that because it's the truth.

But there are a lot of things that are true that we don't need to tell.

We should do our best to never show people in an unflattering light.

First Peter 310 says, if you want to see your day fill up with good, here's what you do. Say nothing evil or hurtful.
