So don't get angry and bitter and worry about these things.
You don't want to become an angry person.
Now, it's okay to be angry in certain situations
where anger is warranted.
And the Bible says be angry and sit not,
but don't let the sun go down on your wrath.
And don't become an angry person where Monday you're angry,
Tuesday you're angry, Wednesday you're angry.
And you know what?
If there are things that make you mad like that,
then just stop looking at them.
This is the best way to control anger.
If you wanna fix your anger problem,
stop getting around things that make you mad.
'Cause you know, sometimes we just expect ourselves
to have some kind of a superhuman willpower
or superhuman temperance.
This would be like if you wanna go on a diet
and you're just gonna like surround yourself
with junk food and chocolates and candy and everything.
And just be like, I can handle this.
You know, I can do this.
You know, you're basically like that Gandhi style.
I don't even wanna, I don't even wanna go there.
If you heard the Gandhi sermon,
you know what I'm talking about.
But you know, hey, let me just surround myself
with temptation and just prove how much willpower.
You know what, that's not what the Bible teaches
'cause you know what the Bible teaches?
Lead us not into temptation.
Isn't that what the Bible says?
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
You know what the Bible says?
Make not provision for the flesh
to fulfill the lust thereof.
And by the way, one of the best ways to go on a diet
is to surround yourself with the right kind of food
and get rid of the wrong temptations.
You know, if you surround yourself
with all kinds of fruits and vegetables
and low calorie snacks that you like,
you're gonna do way better.
You know, usually the time that I find myself
just eating the worst things
and just totally blowing my diet
is when I'm in my office, I'm super busy working,
and all I've got in my office is just wheat and candy
and you know, all this, and it's just like,
and I'm just like, I don't have time to get the right thing.
I'm just, you know, this will work as a meal substitute,
and it's just like candy bars and chips and whatever.
Yeah, and then she puts all the wrong stuff in my office.
No, but lately I've been putting
some of the right things in my office, you know.
See, I try to put like an apple, an orange, a banana,
popcorn, you know, 'cause pop,
don't tell me popcorn's not good or I'm in real trouble
'cause I eat an incredible amount of popcorn.
But, you know, it's high fiber, low calorie, amen?
It's non-GMO, the one that I do.
So, if it's wrong, I don't wanna be right.
(audience laughs)
So, the point is though, you know,
just like you'd be crazy to surround yourself
by candy bars and ice cream and sodas
when you're trying to lose weight
and you need to surround it with the right things.
Well, here's the thing, you know,
don't just indulge things that cause you to get super angry.
You know, every time you look at the news,
you're just mad and upset,
or every time you look at the news,
you're getting stressed out,
you're getting sick to your stomach,
you're getting an ulcer from thinking about,
you know, coronavirus and Black Lives Matter
and all this junk that's on.
You know, maybe it's time to just ignore it
and the world will keep on turning without you.
You know, the derelicts can burn cities down
without you watching them do it.
It's like, it'll still happen without you watching.
You don't even have to watch it happen.
And you don't even have to know the exact statistic
on the coronavirus.
And now it turns out that this number was underestimated.
No, wait a minute, it was overestimated.
No, here's the real number over here, you know.
It's just like, at the end of the day,
sometimes it can become just detrimental
to your personal life to pay attention to all that
and get all mad and upset.
And once you just realize that God is gonna take care of it
and that all things work together,
forget the other love guy.
Now, if you enjoy that sort of thing
and you can look at that stuff without it bothering you,
then you know what?
Hey, why don't you keep up with every twist and turn
of the corona saga and the looting and pillaging saga.
Hey, knock yourself out.
But you know what?
I've noticed a lot of people
that it's having a detrimental effect on.
Where I can tell that it's stressing people out,
it's making them upset, it's making them angry.
And you know, it might be time to just turn that off
for some of you or at least take a break from it
and cool down a little.
'Cause the stress is gonna kill you, right?
You know, God is going to punish our enemies,
our haters, things that are going on in the world.
It's all in His hands, so we don't need to worry about it.
What we need to worry about
is just being in God's good graces.
That's what we need to worry about.
