Things that people hate and things that God hates… One thing that I hate is when people drop sentences… like “Oh I wanted to tell you that…..

 

7 things God hates…

 

So what does God hate? Prov. 6:16 

There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:

17 

        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,

18 

        a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 

        a false witness who pours out lies
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

 

1.  Haughty eyes:

 

2.  A lying tongue:  A lying tongue is a reminder that all words count.  All words have weight, they have meaning and they have consequences and all our words will be judged by God.  This is why in Proverbs 18:21 we are warned: life and death are in the power of the tongue.  When we lie, we plant seeds of death in those that God created from the dust of the earth… We poison the soul that God has placed in all humans.

 

Once upon a time my son who was newly married was talked into buying a used car… actually trading in his current car for a used car… Now typically my son is an adult and he can make his own decisions… but this time he was talked into it by a man from our church. When all was said and done my son had been lied to, the new used car was not only a bad car, but it was a bad trade and a bad deal.  THIS DUDE LIED TO MY SON. he made a quick buck off my son - but not with business acumen… but rather by lying to one of Gods children. 

Now I know how God feels when I lie to his children.

Lies are not just things we choose to do to OUR reputation, but rather indignations we cast on Gods kids… we decorate them with our sin… that is inexcusable. 

But again if God hates lies… it means he loves the truth. Who is Jesus? the son of God? - well yes, but he is the Way and the TRUTH…..

WHEN i love the truth I am loving Jesus. When I speak the truth I am speaking Jesus, When I protect the truth I am protecting Jesus reputation and his children… and in all these things I am treating Gods children with love by speaking the truth. 

There is a reason people want to know the truth… why do you really want to know the truth… why do you hate being lied to? Because I know anything but the truth keeps me from what is best for me. God is what is best for me, his truth is what is best for me and if you tell me anything other than the truth you are stepping into the shoes of God… Danger Danger Danger….

Think of it this way… truth brings life, freedom, hope

Ever get diagnosed by multiple doctors and none can figure out what is wrong… they call kind of guess. but then you go to that one specialist and he knows the truth… there is a freedom there. he knows what’s wrong, he knows how to treat you and HE TELLS YOU.

GODS WORD IS TRUTH, WE SHOULD SPEAK HIS WORDS OF TRUTH, WE SHOULD SPEAK THE TRUTH AND WE SHOULD LIVE THE TRUTH.

The truth is loved by God, because as John 17:23 tells us God love Jesus,
