Each episode shows as around 10 minutes, but is actually only about 7-9 minutes, minus the intro and follow up.
On the Podbean app, you can edit your Seek settings for 15- or 60-second increments, and also turn off notifications for other recommendations, etc.  That setting was my favorite, ha!

About a year and a half after I started using this app, I realized it had been automatically downloading new podcasts, and taking up a ton of space on my phone!  So I changed that setting, deleted all the downloads, and freed up 1.5 GB! 😊

Bro. Pauley is an evangelist, and was previously the Vice President of Administration at Crown College of the Bible where my daughter graduated from college.

A Right Spirit

Proverbs 14:3
"In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride..."

This was me yesterday.
I was gossiping about someone who (to me) appeared prideful... All the while being somewhat proud that I wasn't like that person.
Oops. 😞

I didn't mention the name, but the person to whom I was talking guessed it after like 2 sentences.
Oops again. 😔

And said she knew, because another person had told her some things.
😕😞☹😯
Thankfully we were interrupted before she could tell me what things... But later she told me she wasn't going to tell me anyway.
(*Now I say "thankfully"... But before I read Proverbs this morning, I was still curious to know.)


►We don't always *consciously we think we are "better."
Sometimes we just think they are not as good/spiritual/kind/humble (really?), etc. as we are... That they are somehow beneath us...
And these were just from things I thought about the person, from what I observed from my limited viewpoint...
I Samuel 16:7 - "... the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."
So that means he knows my sinful heart too.
Jeremiah 17:9 - "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
Proverbs 21:2 - "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts."
Our tongue can cause a lot of trouble... 
Proverbs 15:2-4 - "The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness."The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good."A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit." 
Proverbs 11:9, 13 - "An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered."A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter."
Proverbs 31:26 - "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness."

Today is the 15th, so I read Proverbs 15, but I know God caused my eyes to fall on that verse from chapter 14. 
And that interruption we had?  Something that rarely, if ever, happens.  🙂
