Faith for Living | "The Seven Things God Hates"
Quick Overview
A co-worker defended the decision to join a particular church. The congregation is gay affirming and includes study from selected doctrines and teachings from all major world religions. Their focus from Christian Scripture is on passages that speak of God’s love, kindness, and mercy. These passages they don’t find objectionable or controversial, and they use the same rule of thumb when selecting teachings from other religions. The co-worker is homosexual and didn’t like the passages which spoke of God’s hatred and judgment for that sin and was happy to find a church with the same spiritual outlook – everyone is right, no one is wrong, and I don’t have to accept the fact that God hates what I do.
God is loving, kind, and merciful. He is also patient and longsuffering. These are attributes of His character that draw others and us to Him. Like the co-worker, we are grossly incorrect in thinking and teaching that this is all there is to God’s character. There are defects in our character which our loving, kind, merciful Father abhors, detests…hates. Proverbs 6:16-19 reveals these things.
This series of lessons examines some men and women from the Bible with some of the very serious character flaws mentioned in Proverbs 6, serious enough that God rebuked, judged, or struck them down. They are examples of people whose hearts weren’t right with God because they didn’t fully understand God’s heart.
