| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back. It's time for the morning mindset. I hope you are |
| 0:07.7 | ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God. I want to ask you to do me a favor |
| 0:12.3 | if you have received any benefit from the morning mindset. Since you've been listening, |
| 0:17.6 | please pause this episode right now and send a message to someone about the morning mindset. |
| 0:23.7 | Someone you know could really benefit from the kind of encouragement you've been receiving. |
| 0:28.4 | You can use the sharing functionality on your podcast player or app to do that. And please, |
| 0:34.0 | don't delay. If you do it right now while you're thinking about it, |
| 0:37.0 | prayerfully consider who to send it to. You could make a difference in someone's life for |
| 0:41.2 | eternity. I encourage you to do that right now. All right, today we're looking at Proverbs 17 |

| 1:36.8 | love or someone we know has been offended. And our responsibility in those situations is |
| 1:43.1 | number one, not to spread it far and wide. Do you see that Solomon is saying here in the last |
| 1:49.2 | part of this verse that when you repeat a matter or an offense is the complimentary word from |
| 1:56.0 | the previous phrase, when we repeat it, we keep talking about it. We spread it around to others. |
| 2:02.8 | We're going to separate close friends. It means we're going to separate the two parties that are |
| 2:08.5 | kind of at odds even more. We're going to cause more problems. And that is not what a Christ |
