Scripture: Proverbs 6:16-19
Song: Purer In Heart, O God
When God hates something, that something is despicable indeed. Sin is sin. But some sins mark not a lapse of faith but a hard, recalcitrant heart.
Proud look. The person with no respect for authority. The face of a generation with gritted teeth, pouting lip and furrowed brow. God hates it.
Lying tongue. The man with no respect for truth. No activity is so cowardly nor will any so harm a relationship. To tell a lie is to be a child of the devil, the father of lies.
Hands shedding innocent blood. The person with no regard for life. God help a nation of persons that justifies the disposal of unborn innocents as if they were removing unseemly warts.
Heart devising wicked plans. The one with no fear of judgment. Many will find on that day that the words “I didn’t mean to” stick in their throat.
Feet swift in running to evil. Persons with no regard for conscience. “No Fear” is more than just a T-shirt logo. It denotes a people who “Ain’t a carin’.”
False witness speaking lies. Persons who have placed their hand on a Bible or crossed their heart to swear oaths that one day will judge them.
One sowing discord among brethren. It is a hard heart indeed that disrupts the unity purchased with the blood of God’s own Son.
God can help the sinner but not the obstinate will. Avoid with all diligence the peril of these sins.
