Hosea declares the Judgment that is coming on his nation and he covers some of the reasons for it.

How to think of ourselves concerning labor and free-will.

To live a life that is not displeasing to God pride is the first thing that must be dealt with. Our pride gets in the way of our willingness to identify with Christ. Pride is the motive behind most ungodliness. Immodesty and immorality are fueled by pride. Pride is the real motive for most good works. It runs deep in the human heart and we must deal with ourselves thoroughly and honestly to keep it from being a factor in our life.

What special dangers threaten believers who are rich in this present age? 1Timothy 6:17–19 helps us prepare for the sermon in morning public worship on the coming Lord's Day.

Obviously pride is a great hindrance to spiritual growth. By virtue of it's very nature pride is contrary to everything godly and right. Pride precedes destruction, not honor. Pride is the cause of all strife, without exception. Yet it is found in all of us more than we are willing to admit. We need to get honest with ourselves and root out the ugly pride that ruins our testimony and our walk with God.

Without God we have no hope. Christ is our peace and He broke down the middle wall reconciling us to become Christ followers. His salvation is a gift. We must consider the goodness of God by meditating on His character and reading His word.

Our society is quickly moving away from the Church. It would be easy to have spiritual pride but like Paul I am the chief of sinners saved through the mercy of God. It is through grace I have been saved, through faith and not of me, it is a gift of God, not of works lest I boast.

Pride is the sin we are most tempted to. It is the first sin mentioned in the list of things God hates. It is the only source of contention and strife. It is the gateway to all sin and condemnation. Everything that springs from pride, or is a source of pride is wrong and not of God, even if it is religion or patriotism. We have the repeated assurance from the Word of God that "pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Pride is sure to take us down and we are all too full of it.

1/30/2022 Scripture: Proverbs 6:12-19 Text: Proverbs 6:16a Sermon: SEVEN SINS GOD HATES THE MOST: 1. A PROUD LOOK Points: I. Understanding This Sin II. Avoiding This Sin III. The Virtue Opposite This Sin SEVEN SINS GOD HATES ABOVE ALL OTHERS Proverbs 6: 12 A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth; 13 He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers; 14 Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. 16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A PROUD LOOK…." This morning we are going to continue our study of Proverbs 6. We will consider a phrase from verse 16, that God hates "a proud look." These verses describe the heart and character I'd the wicked. We see that Wisdom is not surprised by human nature and our sinful tendencies. Wisdom doesn't leave us in our sin, but leads and directs us in the way we should go… what we need to do and not do if we would live a life that gives glory to God. As Wisdom describes what God hates about the wicked, He reveals what He loves. The opposite virtues are His desire for His people.
