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.

Art He That Troubleth Israel?

ART HE THAT TROUBLETH ISRAEL?

By George Thurlow (c)6/1/20

"Art he that troubleth Israel?"

How quickly we do blame,

But for the source of current problems

We need not look beyond our name.

Often struggles find us

When we disobey,

The Word that God instructed

And go off on our own way.

1 Kings 18:17-18

"And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou who troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim."
