Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 49 - NUMBER 24 V«V.V.W.V PASTOR'S PEN These six things doth the Lord hates yea, seven are an ab omination unto Him. Proverbs 6:16 Did you know that God hates as well as loves ? What does God hate, you ask? He hates all sin, but there are some "special" sins He hates above all others. "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 devise th wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief. A false witness that speakethlies, and he that soweth dis cord among brethern" (Prov. 6;16-19). First, God hates a proud look. Pride is the worst sin of mankind. It will cause one to rebel against God and to despise his fellow man. Pride will keep one from Christ. It will cause one to be rejected by God, who requires humility and repent ance. "God resisteth the proud, and give th grace to the humble" (I Pet. 5;5). "Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall" (Prov. 16; 18). God hates a lying tongue. Is it strange to you that children lie instinctively without being taught? Where does this lying mo tive originate? It comes from the devil, the father of lies and liars (John 8:44), who controls the hearts of the unsaved. Lying takes many forms-fraud, slander, gossip, libel, misrepresentations and breach of promise. God, who is pure Truth, hates all of them. God hates a hand that sheds innocent blood. Life is sacred and God hates the destroyer of it. "Thou shalt not kill, " is God's immutable law. Now murder can be committed in many ways, "whosoever hateth his brother is a murder" (1 John 3; 15). You can murder your friends, your neighbors, your fellow church members, your family by the poison of hatred and ill will. There are thousands of murders to day who are not behind bars. God hates a heart that deviseth evil imagination. If you imagine, premeditate and desire evil in your heart, you are guilty of sin. As you think in your heart, so are you, the Bible declares (Prov. 23; 7). He that looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultry in his heart al ready (Matt. 5;28). Evil imaginations lead to sin, sin leads to habits, habits lead to bondage and bondage leads to death (Jas. 1:15). Finally, God hates a man that soweth dis cord among thebrethren. This is the most grevious sin of all. It is "an abomination" to the Lord (Prov. 6;l6). You ask, What can we do about these dreadful sins that God hates? There is little, if anything, you can do, but there is something God has already done. Jesus Christ died and rose again that you might have a new heart, a new nature, a trans formed character. You can be born again today. How? The Bible says, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unright eous man his thoughts: and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundant ly pardon" (Isa. 55; 7). Do this now and though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
