God's Standards Matter!

"God's Standards Matter"

As ‘followers of Christ, God's Word repeatedly tells us where He stands on various issues — career, business, relationships, as well as on the state of the human condition.

Arrogance, lies, murder, evil, false witness and troublemaking…these activities and character flaws might sometimes arise in our own lives, so knowing and understanding each of them can be deeply beneficial to each of us, especially as we embark on the ongoing quest to be better and stronger people.

"There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community."

So, there you have it: arrogance, lies, murder, evil, false witness and troublemaking.

It's some pretty heavy stuff.

Most of us have probably been guilty of one or more of these things at one point or another (or perhaps we're currently battling one of more of these characteristics).It is clear God hates these things, so it's surely wise to try and contain them, if and when they emerge. Being better means periodically and consistently…checking ourselves.

NO ONE...is free to just ignore God's Standards or make "another standard" ...of greater importance! He will never lower His standards! Frankly speaking...who wants, or desire to follow a God with low standards?

Would'nt you agree that would absolutely absurd? The consequences are extremely serious...
