Christian liberty

OK what's up everybody. We are live we are open-air theology. As you can tell pastor Habs is not with us today and he usually controls the intro music for us our good friend Dana Willie. So my name is Jeff Bryce.

I am the one of the pastors of Covenant Reform Baptist Church here in Tallahoma Tennessee. I also am co-owner of Post Turner Slux Bible Rebinding and we have a lot of things going on on YouTube. You can check us out on YouTube at my two cents with Jeffrey Rice and I'm gonna turn it over to my good brother Brayden.

Yeah thanks.

Brother my name is Pastor Brayden or Brayden Patterson. I am so privileged to pastor a small church in Hagerman Idaho. It's called Valley Baptist Church. If you're in the area I'd love for you to come check it out.

As well as have a YouTube channel called reformed ex-mormon ex LDS. Myself now am a reformed Christian who loves to glorify God and preach him crucified. So it's a privilege to be on here tonight as I this topic that we're talking about tonight Christian Liberty has been on my mind here.

Actually for the last it's been on my mind for a while now but just a couple weeks ago when we were talking about our tulip discussion our photos made it into a certain Facebook group and all they could focus on wasn't the theology that we were talking about but it sounded like they were grabbing attention to the smoking of cigars and if that's even appropriate and they were more concerned about those things versus the doctrine and theology that we were discussing.

And so from there you know there's been a lot of good thought and thinking that I've been hoping to do.

One of these podcasts on. So yeah you're the one that came up with the idea. So here we go and to answer Joshua. I don't know if you heard. So Haps is not on tonight. Haps messaged us a probably bit probably about an hour ago.

Something with his blood pressure has been pretty high most the day and so he just wouldn't feel like he was gonna be able to get on and and do anything. So keep him in prayer. I know this is an ongoing struggle for him his blood pressure.

So let's just keep him in prayer lift him up. I know he's in my prayers is in my thoughts is in my heart. Definitely a good brother to have on your side. And there's just a good brother to have on a podcast too.

I mean so amen. So yeah let's dive into it. So again we're gonna be discussing Christian liberty. Don't drink don't smoke and don't listen. Don't watch podcast of those who do so as me and Braden was discussing this issue and we were talking about.

You know how this was gonna play out. All I could think about was that old saying don't drink don't chew and don't go with girls that do. And so I just kind of made it my own flavor. Don't drink don't smoke and don't watch the podcast of those who do.

So if if you hold to that you might want to turn us off right now although I'm not smoking at the moment but it's only because I'm in my house. Like if I could.

Do this podcast outside. Oh man well later on in October I think it is. We're gonna be going to reform con and meeting up with each other and we might have to do a podcast in person smoking cigars having an hour-long smoke with each.

Other. Yeah. So if that takes place that would be great. It'd be awesome. Yeah. Absolutely. And of course once we get our church like so we're we are going to be eligible to either purchase a building or eligible to build next year.

Mm-hmm. And once we have a building of our own we are going to be having many conferences cool. Held by open-air theology. Awesome. So cool. So they'll definitely a part of the conference will definitely be alive.

Some live shows going on of podcasting. Cool. I love it. Yeah. And you're gonna have a like you.

Got to have a corner with with Bibles another one like right next to your Bibles you got all your theology books. Maybe next to that you got your tracks your gospel tracks and after that you got a humid a door right there.

Yeah I'm.

In a door and a trailer. Yeah. For those who are chiming in still got people asking where haps is haps. His blood pressure was up real high so he wasn't feeling like he was able to join us. So please be in prayer for him.

I'm sure he loves knowing that he's he's missed. You know I'm just hoping if this was to play and I wasn't here people say hey where's Jeff. Right. That's right. I'm sure they would. So back on the Christian Liberty.

Man it's it. It's a big topic it is. I came up with three questions and I'll ask the questions and I'll just you know. And then we'll riff on it. You know. Feel free to to start each one off if you won't.

However you want to do this. Yeah. But the first question that we'll deal with tonight on Christian Liberty is how to glorify. Excuse me how to glorify God while holding to Christian Liberty. I love it.

You know I think the.

The very first thing that maybe maybe even before answering the question I think the very first thing that I like to do is is to define what is sin how does sin happen who commits sin. So on and so forth.

Right. And so sin is is the breaking of God's law. Right breaking of God's commandments. Right. And in Romans chapter 14 I believe it is in the final verse there it says whatever is not done from faith is sin.

And so you can have a great example of something like this is found in Daniel chapter 2 where or Daniel chapter 3 excuse me on a Daniel chapter 3 King Nebuchadnezzar sets up a statue of himself and he says that at the sound of many different instruments and he lists out a whole bunch of instruments.

You will bow down and worship this false idol either. He doesn't call it a false idol but bow down and worship the image. And the question has to be posed is playing an instrument listening to an instrument sinful because for some if they were to bow down and worship a false image at the sound of such musical instruments absolutely because it's something that's not being done from faith.

It's something that is violating God's law in that way. But as a as a Christian as a believer in Yahweh a believer in Jesus Christ and his death burial and resurrection I can listen to the exact same musical instruments that are being played and glorify God in the process of doing those without bending a knee to a false idol.

And there's examples of this all throughout the scriptures. And so I think that's the very first thing I would say that that as a Christian I can do many of those same things as long as it's not explicitly said in the scriptures that thou shalt not do.

I can do certain things in in good conscience and in good faith that glorifies God in the process. So an example of something like this would be an atheist and a believer that are standing right next to each other.

An atheist grabs a glass of water. I go and pour glasses of water for both of them. An atheist drinks the glass of water and a believer drinks a glass of water. They both have done the exact same act they both on the exact same thing.

And yet one has done it not in faith and I hope the other the Christian believer has done it in faith to God's glory. And therefore it's the same act. But one is sinful and one is not and that is applied to many many many things.

And so I think the very first way that I would say to answer this kind of a question how to glorify God while holding the Christian liberty is that it's first realizing that as of as a Christian I have freedom I can now recognize God's blessings out in the world.

I can recognize all the all God's goodness around me and I get to take those in I get to enjoy those things and I get a glorify God in the process of those things. I get a gift thanks to him. I get to give praises to him.

I get a worship him through these different things that he has blessed me with. No longer am I just eating a steak to fill my belly. But I'm eating a steak thinking Lord thank you for helping me go from milk to meat.

Thank you Lord. Let me remember where this this cattle has come from from the field and all the work that has gone into it Lord and God let the hands that prepared this know you let all the nation cry out for you for this steak.

I get to do that now versus where where I when I was an unbeliever I just ate it to consume it and enjoyed it in those ways. Now I get enjoy it for God's glory. I get a I get a look to Christ and the substance of those things.

And so I I would say that the very first question of how to glorify God while holding to Christian liberty is is first recognizing my freedom of sin through Christ and and enjoying those things around me to give God glory over those things to to deliberately and intentionally give him glory.

Well yeah.

Man that's very well stated very well stated. I definitely agree with everything that you said. Yeah. I think Charles Spurgeon hit it home when it came to the issue that that were. That were basically hitting on because of the yeah the the podcast that we did on tulip that was shared on a certain site instead of them listening to the theology that we presented they were more focused on the picture that had both you and I smoking a cigar.

Yep. Right. Has was just mean muggin he was just looking on gangsta. Like but you and I were smoking a cigar in the picture. And so they didn't address the theology. They could not get past the fact that we were openly professing Christians who smoked cigars.

Right. And Charles Spurgeon that that that famous quote you probably know it better than I about smoking a cigar to the glory of God. And and basically that's what you were hitting on. You know some someone could smoke a cigar and it could be a sin for them.

And it's not that the smoking itself is the sin. It's not that drink in the water that glass of water is a sin. But what the sin is is not doing it to the glory of God. You're not giving thanks to the one who created all things.

My correct is yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so there's definitely things that we shouldn't do. So we shouldn't go out and and instill for the glory of God. No. Right. We should we we're not to go commit adultery for the glory of God.

We're not to have sexual thoughts of our neighbor's wife for the glory of God. Right. Because these things are clearly seen in Scripture. God calls them sin. Yeah. But what God does not call sin we are not to call sin.

Right. And then you have the the idea of the the old covenant and the new covenant. Jesus came and fulfilled the old covenant by living the life we could not live and by dying a death substitutionary for us.

So he as our substitute took upon himself the punishment that we deserve. And after this takes place the new covenant the covenant of grace breaks forth. And in the covenant of grace what was. Some of the things that were prohibited under the old covenant are now permitted.

So we're you know under the old covenant the Jewish keep the the earthly kingdom people who are the Jews we're not allowed to eat pork. Now the new covenant you and I who are a part of the spiritual kingdom of God we can eat pork to the glory of God.

Mm-hmm. Right. And that's why I'm glad I'm in the new covenant versus the old covenant. Right. Because I like to you know stick some bacon in the air and scream bacon and so. But what we're saying is is where God has under the new covenant where God has now allowed certain things.

We should not be you know saying that these things are sins are saying that you know again we're at the moment we're just talking about the smoking part. So nowhere in Scripture does it say not to smoke a cigar.

Right. There's no clear verse that says not smokes. And probably there wasn't no such thing back then. I don't know. You know I mean I haven't. You know. Maybe there was maybe there wasn't. I don't know.

All I know is is that there's nothing in it that says that. Now personally when it comes to smoking I think cigars are tobacco done. Right. Yeah. All right. Now now I do believe you can do this wrong.

So if you're smoking and you are inhaling cigar smoke all right. Stop all right. That's dangerous. Don't listen. Don't inhale cigar smoke. Okay. Don't do it now. If you're puffing smoke right. You're hitting the cigar and you're blowing it out.

You're not inhaling the smoke is not entering into your lungs. All right. Now I'm not saying it's safe but it is safer. Right. But tobacco was never meant to go into your lungs. All right. It's kind of to be absorbed into your your your taste buds.

Your what is that others do your gums. And yeah.

Just it was meant to be enjoyed by your palate right. Yeah by your parent yeah.

Yeah and it does relax. You like like I don't know what it is about it. To me it's like a good transitional period from from working hard which I don't smoke it every every day. I don't smoke a cigar every day.

You know two three days a week I might have a cigar. Sundays after church service everyone leaves. I'm wrapping up everything but that's when I want one the most right. I want to relax. I've been preaching for 50 minutes to an hour cleaning up and enjoying fellowship and now it's time to relax.

Give me a cigar. I'm outside chillin to the glory.

Of God yeah and you want to be intentional about it too right. Like right you're setting that time aside that I'm gonna do this intentionally glorifying God and in X Y Z ways right. And so I think you hit it right on the top of the head I whenever and I'm sure we'll get into it a little bit.

We're as Christians we're not to be addicted to things. We're not to be succumbed by things. We're not to be held down by things. We're not beat to be under slavery in those type of means. And when I smoke a cigar or enjoy other things along those lines you know it's usually for an intentional purpose.

And so my cigar smoking history is either on a day that I have I really want to study something and I'm having a hard time studying it and it sets a time aside for an hour or 45 minutes where that's all I'm going to think about right.

All I'm gonna think right. Or whenever at work I've had a really really good call and so like something something I just God thank you so much for keeping me safe thank you for helping these ways and I'm gonna be opening the God's Word and still actually glorifying God and reading through the Bible even in those times.

And then the the most intense ways that I and I'll say intense that the times that cigars have personally helped me is when I've had experiences at work where there's a baby that dies or a young child that dies and so I love to go home and smoke a cigar and open up God's Word and understand God's sovereignty in all things right.

And that to me is how I glorify God in doing those things right. And that can look different for many many different types of people. Not everybody's gonna go to a cigar. Not everyone's gonna do these kind of things.

Your your thing might be going out and getting ice cream with the kids. Your thing might be. There's several different examples that we can use in these ways but that is personally how I view a cigar when I when I treat myself.

To one yeah yeah. To me it's you know. To me it's finding something to do. That's that. That's for me. Right. You know you know like I have my time with my wife my time with the children you know. Like I don't you know sit and watch TV or play with my children and smoke or anything like that.

Like me and my wife we don't hang out and me smoke or something like yeah. Like this is just something that I do as a transitional period where it's just me I have an hour to kill. Or or let's say I got a drive for an hour there's somewhere where I'm going and I'm gonna be on the road driving for an hour all.

Right. That that's a good time for me to enjoy and smoke a cigar. Or let's say I have an hour to read a book you know. And I'm gonna sit on my porch read the book and just relax and smoke a cigar. You know the it's nothing's going inside my lungs.

I you know I'm a grown man you know. And and and I'm joyfully thanking God that I have this privilege to sit on my porch to drive in the car or to go to the tobacco shop by my house sit down smoke a cigar read a book study the Bible whatever that looks like or after I got done preaching and fellowshipping with the Saints on my way home you know smoking a cigar.

Just relax and thanking God that he has gifted me in this area to enjoy him and everything that I do. I want people that are.

Watching this to hear the difference between when when we're saying about intentional time that we are putting aside to do X Y Z activities such as cigar or participating in and drinking some alcohol or whatever the example is.

Yes so let's touch on the alcohol. Absolutely yes. Yeah. I was just gonna say.

With with that I hope that you're hearing a difference between somebody else that might be talking about the same actions saying man I just get that taste in the back of my throat or or I I just needed this for the day or I couldn't go another minute without that.

That's not what we're saying. We're saying that this is intentional time set aside that is not consuming us in those ways. Right. Yeah. Do you want to open up with alcohol stuff. Yeah. So you.

Know a lot of like I've been saying this for years. If the outside world was to decide that it was sinful to comb your hair then they would force Christians not to comb their hair. Right. Listen. We can't call saying what the Bible doesn't call sin.

The Bible does not condemn drinking. Right. If we say the Bible condemns drinking we also have to say the Bible condemns eating. Period. Yeah. And most places in Scripture where it talks about drunkenness it accompanies with the word gluttony.

Right now I agree that we should not overeat. Right. I also agree that we should not be drunkers. We should not amen. You know drink to get drunk. You know to be belligerent. You know because I know growing up I used to drink like that.

I've done a lot of stupid things. Blackout wake up black hour with with the busted knuckles or something like that you know you just never know. And and and so I don't want you to hear me saying that.

I condone that that. I don't. But as a pastor if I walked into a restaurant and I saw Josh is watching right now Josh is a he's a deacon at the church. So if I walk in and saw him and his wife enjoying a beer I wouldn't say oh what are you doing brother.

I'm revoking your deaconship. No absolutely not. I wouldn't. I wouldn't think a matter of fact. I wouldn't think anything about it matter of fact. I probably say I'd probably go and say your next ones on me or something like yeah.

Yeah. I mean me and Josh have sat down and enjoyed cigars together. You know as brothers in Christ. And you know we shouldn't condemn what people with the Bible doesn't. But the Bible does condemn drunkenness.

The Bible does condemn gluttony. Now now let's look at it like this real quick. So the Bible condemns drunkenness and the Bible condemns gluttony. Yet we Americans have three meals a day and snacks in between.

Hmm. Now if I told you that I had if I drank three different periods of the day with a shot in between. Are you hearing me. I'm hearing you all right. What's. But you see what I'm saying. Absolutely I love it all.

Right. Like personally like to me. So before this podcast aired I mean before we started this podcast I was I was working with being on another podcast with another group. I came up with the name for their podcast.

I was doing everything. They ended up rejecting me because I smoked cigars. And I posted a picture of me with the cigar. Yet they would have had no problem if that picture was me at a restaurant with a steak in front of me.

It's wrong brother. Like it's wrong. It's wrong to judge your brother in that way. You know whether it be a cigar or or whether it be a beer. When we as Americans have three meals a day and snacks in between.

Yeah. We're one of the richest countries in the world. There's some country there's some countries where people don't have a meal a day. The meal that they do get that it's from a it's at a dump site.

Right. But we spoiled Americans have three meals a day with snacks in between. And then we get on Facebook and we talk about someone smoking a cigar. Yeah. Two or three cigars a week and talk about their Christianity.

Mm-hmm. Or or we see them have a a beer. Or so. You know whether it be watching a fight at a at a at a at a. You know a restaurant. Like our church we serve wine. Right. If you come to the Covenant Reform Baptist Church in Tullahoma Tennessee and we have communion.

It's wine. Now there is an option for juice. But we have wine. How many churches you go to that would do that. I'm working on it. I hope to get there at some point you know. So so one of the stigmas about Christianity is the fact that that saying is true.

Don't drink. Don't smoke and don't go with girls. That do you know don't drink don't chew and don't go with girls that do. Well and that view has influenced.

Non-believers to even how they should view a Christian if they hear a Christian that is somebody that smokes or somebody that drinks or whatever those those legalistic type of mindsets are immediately you can't be a Christian.

I mean I've I even heard I've heard people say you can't be a Christian have a beard like because then their mind that's what they've shaped what a Christian is like. You can't do that in fact because in the idea is that they're there.

It's a false equivalency fallacy. Right. I see a drunkard drinking a beer and that's an unbeliever. And I'm going to view that person this way. Then I see this this Christian have a beer in his hand he has to be the same thing.

It has to be both sin. It has to be both worldly. No I just because Hitler had a mustache does not mean that you can point at me and say I'm Hitler or or associate myself in those ways to him. Right. That that's wrong.

That that's a that's a logical fallacy. And in fact you know I think some of it because a lot of a lot of Christians will have the mindset. Okay I when I when I was saved this is how I acted when I was unsaved.

I I can't have any visual like what I had before. Well why are you wearing clothes then. Because you're still wearing clothes every time. Right. And in a good example of something like that is for myself.

When I was saved prior to being saved I didn't drink coffee. I didn't smoke I didn't drink or anything. So actually when I was saved it was the complete opposite. When I do those things it doesn't look like the world to me.

It doesn't look like my.

Legalistic world. Yeah. So what people don't realize about you as a Mormon. And you know it wasn't that you didn't do him but it was the reason why you didn't.

Do. Yeah I earn in favor. Exactly. And they were using it in the same reasons that many Christians try to argue not to doing those things. Well you don't want.

To look like that you don't want to look like the world you don't want to look.

Like the world and and so you got to realize that this is legalism this is legal or legalism and a lot of it stems especially in the United States from the Prohibition days is that that's so this is what Bible is this is what it's exactly and and that's why you don't see a lot of that stuff that's in other continents from what I've been told.

I've never been there to other continents but I've heard that that you don't see this kind of legalism that you you have here.

In the United States yeah it would be nothing to go to Ireland and walk into a pub and the people in the pub are singing Psalms singing hymns and drinking beer. Oh now I want to go to Ireland. Yeah right.

But if but uh which which I've been saying so there's this little restaurant down the street from us and and they have a like a little bar area and they have a stage where you can you know play play music and stuff and I've been talking you know man I would really love to go Oh Ireland pub style in this place and you know have a night one night a month where we read Psalms and sing Psalms and sing hymns while drinking beer.

As a church together to as a way to meet our community. Yeah and I can just imagine all the churches around here hating us for this because they bought into American revivalism. You know when I meet people especially when they see that they hear that I'm a pastor you know like and I'm always associated with the the American church the American revivalism.

My daughter's trying to sneak up on me and you know and when they ask the question because for the most part I don't hide anything. Right. I am who I am and I am this way to the glory of God. I don't try to hide anything.

I don't I don't try to shove stuff down people's throat like I just I am who I am I'm an ex-gang banging pimp that God saved that he he's removed me from the filth and that in what I do today whether it's when I hang out with my kids or if I'm with my wife or if I'm at the church whatever it is.

Right now I'm doing this podcast for the glory of God. Amen. Right. It's not for my glory it's for the glory of God. Everything that I do I'm gonna do it for the glory of God. I agree all. Right. So let's move.

You have anything. I was gonna say the exact same thing. Let's move on to the.

Next one all right. So the next question is and I do believe this is one that you are most excited about so you can yeah take off with. It is biblical.

Concerns and objections. So the the two objections that I have always heard in the years I've been saved and things that I've heard just from around me is the first one is that I gotta write it right now here.

So the first one is that your body is a temple right. And the second one is that you're a stumbling block because many of these type of people admit okay yep you're right. It doesn't explicitly say those things in the Bible.

In fact it X Y Z examples right. But you shouldn't do these things as a stumbling block to your brother or sister right. And those those verses are coming from 1st Corinthians chapter 12 or chapter 6 verse 12 and Romans 14 verse 21 so I don't know if we want to.

Open those up and talk about them a little bit or. Yeah. And I got a quote so I was listening to wretched radio and he named off. For he was supposed to name off four things. He only did two. I think only one was relevant.

And it's about Christian Liberty. Christian Liberty. He said Christian Liberty must never be flaunted. And basically what he was getting at it's okay if you smoke your cigar. It's okay if you have your beer.

But don't tell anyone. Don't show pictures. Don't do it in public. So basically what this other Christian is wanting us to do is to hide. Hide it. And I've never heard that. Yeah. So to me this is like if I have to hide something I shouldn't be doing it.

That's hypocrisy. Yeah. All right. If I feel like I have to hide something I shouldn't be doing it. You know when I used to smoke weed I you know smoked it where I want. No cops around. Why. Because you're breaking the law.

And so because I you know I knew that this is something that you can't I could not do. Open. Especially when I became a Christian. Like you know like I just you know there's if you have to you shouldn't do it.

Mm-hmm. And so that's all I was thinking about whenever he was saying this. But the verse he gave for this was in Romans 14. Yeah verse 22 if.

You want to read. Yeah 21 and 22 together. Absolutely so. Romans 14 verse 20 through 22 it says do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food all things are indeed are clean but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense it is good not to eat meat or drink to drink wine or to do anything which which your brother stumbles the faith which you have have as your own convention before God.

Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves but he who doubts is condemned if he eats because he is eating not from faith and whatever is not from faith is sin. Yeah. And so this is coming right off the.

Heels of verse 17 where it says. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness peace and joy and the Holy Spirit. Basically what the writer is trying to get from the Christians.

What. It's the same thing that most of the books are getting at is unity among the brothers you know. So at this time it was those who did not eat me and those who only ate vegetables and those who ate me vegetables are thing.

So I could be wrong here I haven't done too much digging. But I know at this time the Jews did not eat meat and so the weaker brother here could be the Jew while the Gentile were openly eating meat. Right.

And and so again. But this is the idea of meat. So it's not talking about cigars though. It is talking about drinking wine. So wine is included. And Paul goes on to say if my eating meat causes my brother to stumble then I shall not eat meat.

But would this man who made this quote earlier tell me to eat my meat in private. Like when I eat a piece of steak hide all right. So let's say I have 10 vegetarians on my Facebook page. All right. I got close to 5 ,000 friends.

I got 4 ,200 something. Friends. Right. I could have 10 people on there that don't eat meat. Yeah. All right. So if I post a picture of me with a steak am I am I causing them to stumble. That's the mindset of some people's that yes you would be causing them to stumble.

Like I just don't know where you know. Like when you uncover where does it begin and where does it end. Yeah you know. And this.

This line that we're talking about that's being drawn by some people. How do I know that somebody's fasting a day and I'm out eating a burger in front of them. I don't know that. So am I causing them to break their fast because I didn't know something.

What about the diabetic. That is diabetic because they have self-induced eating too much sugar over the years and so they've had an onset of type 2 diabetes and so therefore they're now dieting to save their life.

And they're done with sugar. They're done with it. So to help their life out. Would it be sinful for me to be going and getting ice cream with my son somebody that doesn't have diabetes that's enjoying something in those ways.

Right. The example. Okay another great example a great example of an addiction. Because that's what people are worried about when we talk about alcohol and smoking addiction. A great example of addiction is money spending money can be an addiction for people.

And it has been for a very long time and it's very prevalent today. Is it okay for me to go and put gas in my vehicle not knowing if there's somebody that's addicted to money around me. Or go to the store and buy clothes at the shopping mall or or whatever.

The example is. Is that wrong for me to do those things. Is it wrong for me to take a picture inside a store doing those.

Things. Is it wrong for you to be in public holding hands with your wife knowing there's people that have porn addictions. A great example is it okay.

For me to bring my kids out of the house knowing that there might be pedophiles around like the. The examples just go on and on and on and on. And where does it end. Ultimately if we want to take a super hard legalistic stance I'm gonna I'm gonna go move up in the mountains never come out of my house and never let anybody know where I'm at right.

It's gonna prohibit me from being able to actually share the gospel in those ways. Because I'm not I'm now too concerned about all that type of stuff. Another another great example of so somebody that's addicted to sex so adultery whatever the fornication whatever the example is in those ways is it not okay for that person to get married and have sex within the bounds of marriage with their wife or their husband.

Is that not okay because they used to be addicted to those things. You can't you can't just say just because it's X then you can't have that. That that doesn't work in those ways. Yeah there's a lot of different ways that we can go along with this but with specifically with smoking and alcohol especially in the quote that you're talking about with wretched man don't hide your don't hide what you're.
