Sin's Seriousness

Sin's Seriousness
By George Thurlow (c) 6/2/20

God doesn't regard lightly
Disobedient ways;
For rebellion is as witchcraft
Even to this day.
The Word of God it changes not
He does not wink at sin,
But a broken and a contrite heart
Is pleasing unto Him.

1 Samuel 15: 22-23
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
