Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:16-19
Proverbs 6:16-19 “These six things doth the LORD hate; yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
- A proud look
- A lying tongue
- And hands that shed innocent blood
- An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
- Feet that are swift in running to mischief
- A false witness that speaketh lies
- And he that soweth discord among brethren.”
I think the book of Proverbs is a book that a new believer in our truth should read as early or as soon as he/she can. It gives him/her insight on how he/she should live his life. Do you think that our GOD still hates these seven actions? Who sheds innocent blood? The doctor in an aborticide office? The baby in the womb is certainly innocent!
Who soweth discord among the brethren? It is not discord among the stranger, but discord among the brethren! But what sin covers most if not all of these abominations – that is what I will talk about this morning.
