August 3, 1923. In a tiny farmhouse in Vermont with no electricity, a man was woken in the middle of the night to learn he had just become president, and his own father swore him in by lamplight.

Vice President Calvin Coolidge was visiting his childhood home, a simple farm so remote it had no telephone or electric power. Meanwhile, across the country, President Warren Harding had suddenly died. A messenger had to physically travel to the farmhouse to deliver the shocking news in the dead of night.

Coolidge needed to take the oath of office immediately. And it just so happened that his father was a notary public, legally allowed to administer oaths. So in the small hours of the morning, in the family sitting room, by the flickering glow of a kerosene lamp, John Coolidge swore in his own son as President of the United States.

It is one of the most quietly remarkable moments in the history of the office. No grand ceremony, no crowds, just a father and son in a rural farmhouse and an old oil lamp. Then, the story goes, the new president simply went back to bed. American power changed hands in the humblest way imaginable on this day.

Jesus never said, "Sow a seed to be delivered from demons." So why are people paying so-called “apostle” Kathryn Krick for deliverance today?

She even told a distressed mother than in order for her son to experience full healing and deliverance, she needed to sow a seed larger than 10% to “seal” his deliverance.

Kathryn Krick uses the Bible to get monetary gain and it’s evil. Beware of false teachers— they are betting that you do not read your Bible so you continue to go to them for your source of truth and healing.

How to develop a discipline of restrained speech...

Scripture warns about saying a lot and doing so rashly.

It associates “restrained words” with a “cool spirit.”

- “Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.” Pr 17:27

- “When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.” Pr 10:19

Conversely, it associates those who speak with “rash words” or “hasty words” with being a foolish and violent man.

- “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Pr 12:18

- “Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.” Pr 29:20

The unrestrained foolish speaker is presented as someone who is eager to share his opinions on all matters but they are rarely words that impart anything truly helpful.

- “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” Pr 18:2

- “Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.” Pr 14:7

How do you develop this discipline?

Here are three actions (I'm sure there are others):

Pray

I've found that anxious and overly talkative people have a weak prayer life. Their verbosity is rooted in a need to work issues out loud. This can be temperamental to a degree. We all process things differently. Some do it externally through talking it out. But talk it out with God first in prayer. You'll find when you talk to others that you have less anxiety and tend to be more restrained.

Meditate

Take time to chew your food. Study an issue from multiple perspectives. Think about it for days, weeks, and months. You'll find that you are less inclined to confidently and rashly air your opinions and positions. And when you do they’ll be more refined and, consequently, helpful.

Observe

Watch how men with decades of proven wisdom speak, not just men who have sounded wise for a few years. Learn from them. Imitate them where you can. If he is the kind of man you hope to become, you’ll learn when to speak, when to stay quiet, and when to weigh your words very carefully.

To be clear, there is definitely a time to speak up.

And just because someone’s words have some roughness or a few barbs doesn’t mean they come from a man without self-control. Sometimes the situation requires exactly that.

But a good craftsman knows which tool fits the job. The same is true of speech.

🚨 "I was a sinner, and I needed a Savior," MLB Legend Darryl Strawberry told me.

"Jesus is the way."

"All these other ways that we go, we find ourselves in darkness, and we find ourselves trying to fill the empty void... Christ is the only one that can fill that empty void."

"He has completed the task at the Cross of Calvary for every last one of us so we would experience abundant life."

"Jesus talks about it in John 14:6 - He says 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

"He is trying to let us all know that He is the way for everything to set you free."
