We've never lived in a world that's more anti-family and anti-church than it is right now. The prince of the power of the air ..Mr. Lu-Cifer.. wants to take our marriages, kids and churches down, but we're going to firmly say no you won't. Never before have our children been able to download the quantity of integrating filth from the internet before, and every year it's more that they could possibly go after. Are you listening parents? Have you entered into your child's life or into the sphere of his or her influence? If your child says that his close friends are none of your business, then you make it your business cuz God wants you to make it your business. Combine a meaningful relationship with each child and sound rules. Fathers, don't provoke your children to anger with stupid rules or without your heart and relationship. Do you know what movies your children are watching, what lyrics in music, or what sites they are visiting? It's time to teach our kids to hate evil and to all-out love the Lord and his righteousness. His people too. Rules alone don't have any power to keep them on the right track but only a relationship can. Properly spanking children at the right time is good. Avoid all abuse and anger at them. Do it at right time with care. Balance love and discipline, courtesy and control, parents. We see these shootings in high and other schools and then hear the parents say oh I had no idea what my kids were watching, hearing or reading.
There are some things to hate. Let's learn to hate sin, troublemaking, rebelling against Direct Authority (God) and delegated authorities.. like God hates these wrong-doin's and bad attitudes. What's important is growing in the Lord while maintaining a right heart, motives, and human spirit inside...as we by the Holy Spirit follow the Word. We all can learn what God loves (people and righteousness) and hates.
So here are six things that God really hates even today. Yeah, that He loathes with a passion:
Pride, arrogance, lies, murdering of people.. especially of the innocent (like with the unborn and the elderly. He hates murder, which is dif than doing your duty as a soldier in a decent war and you know many wars haven’t been. You and I wish there was never any wars, and one day all of them will end. Read the Revelation in the Bible).
The hatching of evil plots, the doing evil and wickedness (though God loves all of us sinners). Lying, being a troublemaker in the family, in a school, in a church.
Do you have feet that race down a wicked track, or a mouth that lies.. even under oath? Simple repent and believe in Jesus. God loves the righteous people and the unsaved sinners too--has a plan for each of us.
“Some people are just troublemakers. They are always thinking up some crooked plan and telling lies. They use secret signals to cheat people; they wink their eyes, shuffle their feet, and point a finger. They are always planning to do something bad. But they will be punished. Disaster will strike, and they will be destroyed. There will be no one to help them. The LORD hates these seven things: eyes that show pride, tongues that tell lies, hands that kill innocent people, hearts that plan evil things to do, feet that run to do evil, witnesses in court who tell lies, and anyone who causes family members to fight.” Proverbs 6:12-19 erv
“Swindlers and scoundrels
talk out of both sides of their mouths.
They wink at each other, they shuffle their feet,
they cross their fingers behind their backs.
Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty,
always stirring up trouble.
Catastrophe is just around the corner for them,
a total wreck, their lives ruined beyond repair.” msg
Why is Christian doctrine so divisive?
Is the Catholic Church a separate religion or a division of Christianity?
What is the cause of church splits? How can healing occur after a church split?
Why do some fellowships split? People were born in sin, therefore we each need to repent and be born again. And then we need to grow as disciples following Jesus and His teachings otherwise believers even can become carnally minded, worldly and selfish. It’s not beyond any of us. We need Jesus to be Lord of our lives all the way through.
Why was Israel divided into the Southern Kingdom and Northern Kingdom?
Riots would break out when the Apostle Paul was livin’ it and preachin’ it -- the Gospel for decisions for Christ. He wasn’t a rebel against Authority or divisive or a troublemaker, but troublemakers would get all convicted of their sin, and then cause trouble when Paul showed up. It happened when the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, spoke the truth as well. Jesus a peace maker said he came to bring a sword. So what did Jesus mean by coming to bring a sword in Matthew 10:34-36?
Romans 16:17 - Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Romans 12:18 - If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Proverbs 20:3 - It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
Matthew 5:44 - But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Proverbs 24:1-34 - Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. (Read More...)
Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Proverbs 16:28-30 - A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. (Read More...)
1 Peter 2:1-25 - Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, (Read More...)
Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
