SERMON TEXT: Proverbs 26:17-38
* Not my circus; not my monkeys — Stay out of other people’s business!
* Don’t add fuel to the fire — Where there is no wood, the fire goes out.
* What goes around comes around — When you dig a pit, it’s likely you will be its victim.
Prov. 26:17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Prov. 26:18 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, 19 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
Prov. 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. 21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. 22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Prov. 26:23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
Prov. 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
Prov. 26:27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
Prov. 26:28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
