Happy Father’s Day to every father on earth and to our Father in heaven. Much thanks for what you are doing for your family.
Proverbs 16:18-20 (KJV)
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
Pride cometh before destruction. People who are proud, like the LGBTQ+, are willfully living in their sinful state.
Honor thy father and thy mother and you will be blessed. Picking one over the other to obey was never what God intended.
Proverbs 31:26-29 (KJV)
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
We give thanks this day for our mothers. Even our wife and our mother who raised us well. God is pleased by all their hard work.
Proverbs 19:17 (KJV)
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Because I am blessed by God, I am honored to bless others. No matter their needs, I will help supply them through the Lord.
Give your lives to Jesus if you have not done so already. Time is ticking and tomorrow is not promised.
Proverbs 6:20-23 (KJV)
20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Women who have abortions are also doing many other things that are very harmful to themselves, others, and especially God.
People who are addicted to porn are also doing many other things that are very harmful to them, others, and especially God.
Proverbs 6:16,17 (KJV)
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.
God’s wrath is upon women who have abortions and others who are pro-abortion also. This is because He hates those who shed innocent blood.
Proverbs 30:5-6 (KJV)
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Anyone who adds or takes away from the Bible is found a liar. These same people are cast into the lake of fire come judgment day.
It is never good to try to defame or slander another person’s good name. Instead, talk to them about your concerns with love.
We do not want to cause others to stumble, especially our children. So lead them in God’s ways, which are holy, and not evil.
Proverbs 22:6-8 (KJV)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
Many wicked things start to happen in a person’s life when they are not raised up in the ways of the Lord. This all changes, when children are raised up to know God.
Did God ever say that His Word would be corrupted or preserved from generation to generation?
Proverbs 16:17-19 (KJV)
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
What David did was very wrong. But for you to see the details for yourself, here it is from 1 Samuel 25, starting with verses 39.
Proverbs 12:21-23 (KJV)
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
It is when we are truthful to people, is when trust is also built. Now the opposite is when people lie and even jokingly lie and then say sorry sarcastically.
Proverbs 3:5-7 (KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
So what does it look like to trust in God with our whole heart? Well, it means doing as He commands us and giving up things that are holding us back from following Him.
The Catholic Church’s Ten Commandments is a modified version of Exodus 20. It is not the same thing, but a very slim down version of the real deal.Â
Now that you know what God hates and of which is an abomination to Him, it is important to respond to Him accordingly.
Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
There is a reason why it is important that we are good examples to our children, lest they also do things that are not lawful in the sight of God.
