Hate This Evil (Part 3)

I want to show you from our theme scripture the third evil you are to hate if the fear of the Lord is working in your life. Solomon calls it THE EVIL WAY.

What does this mean? This means evil behaviour. Evil behaviour can mean different things to people, but what does it mean to God? I will use what David wrote in Psalm 1:1 (KJV) to explain it better.

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

- Psalm 1:1 KJV

This whole attitude shown here by David is bad. How can you, a believer, be so comfortable walking in the counsel of the ungodly?

There are leaders in church whose friends are all people who don’t go to church and don't believe in church. In fact, they call you names like 'mummy church' or 'pastor', and you are still with them. After a while, you will start going down in your Christian walk.

Some stand in the way of sinners, i.e., they function with the opinion they get from sinners. They are the ones giving you advice. How can this be?

They sit in the seat of the scornful. They are with people who mock men and women of God and the things of God. This behaviour is bad, and you must stop it. Be wise.
