"do not muzzle an ox that is treading grain" in reference to letting those that are doing god's work be able to preach teach talk etc..
don't speak harshly
speak to older men and women as if they were your fathers or mothers
speak to younger men and women as is they were brothers and sisters
sins can be conspicuous and precede a man into judgment, other mens' sins follow them into judgment
and the sermon had a message i agreed with, the central thesis was "do not prepare your defense in advance" in my opinion referring to the mental emotional state of having a clean conscience such that your positions on matters of the past and present are at your fingertips, unified with your own personal integrity, there is no clever planning or posturing or trying to create a defense. if you have to defend your position, just draw from what you know thinking "on your feet"*, which is the truth, hopefully that you are in harmony. that spoke to me.
*if there are details that you need to remember that are subtle i think its ok to go over those in advance
internal medicine rotation starts tomorrow!
