Look, it's being able to get along with other people, too.
Okay, look, you don't always have to be right.
If you get in an argument with someone in our church,
another saved person, the end goal is not to be able
to say, I'm right and you're wrong.
You know what the end goal should be
when there's an argument in our church?
Defuse the entire thing, forget this thing,
this is stupid, we're talking about this,
let me buy you a Coke!
Let's get along again.
But you know what fifth graders do,
you know what kindergartners do, ah, he hit me first.
No, why don't you just drop the whole situation
and go talk about something else?
If there's something you disagree with on someone,
then start bashing the dispensationalist
and start getting on something you both agree on.
Why, because what is it worth?
You coming out of the conversation
as though you're the one who's right.
What does that prove?
Nothing.
You lose your brother, you look like an idiot
in front of everyone else,
you make the situation awkward for everyone,
you know, better to just say, this is so dumb.
What are we talking about?
You know, let's go do something else.
You know, and look, Satan destroys the church from within.
Not from without.
You know, the attacks from without
bring us closer together, it's the attacks from within
that screw up the whole operation.
You know, and how does he do that?
Well, through many means, but one of them
is just causing division in the church.
And I've said this before,
and I know people don't listen to me, and that's okay.
Look, you don't have to get along
with everyone in our church,
but you gotta be able to be mature enough
to be able to get along with everyone
in our church in a sense.
You don't have to be best friends
with everyone in our church,
but you should have the decency and maturity
to be able to get along with everyone in our church.
Look, let me give you some good advice.
Be a likable person, okay?
Be a likable person, not to the world.
I'm talking about here.
People should be able to like you, okay?
I'm not saying compromise so that people can like you,
but you know what, if people don't like you,
it's because you have a personality deficit of something,
of some sort, okay?
You know, I just like to be that kind of person
where I'm a jerk, and people know that I'm a jerk,
but I know the Bible.
You're an idiot, okay?
You need to be able to get along with everyone.
And look, the way you get along with everyone
is if you disagree with someone, you be the better person
and just say, man, I was wrong about the whole thing.
Just forget about the whole thing.
Let's just move on from this.
Because your relationship with your brother
is far more important than you being right, okay?
Okay, if it's over like repent of your sins,
that's a different story.
You're right and they're wrong, okay?
But it's over stupid things that just really
are not clear in the Bible.
You don't come out the better or the worse for it.
Just drop it.
What's the point?
And look, this goes for every area of life.
Don't waste your energy with meaningless, vain talking.
You know, you got better things to do with your life
and if you don't, find something better
to do with your life.
