Here’s what God thinks of a troublemaker. In this episode, Isaac walks through Proverbs 6:16–19 and shows dads how to teach their families the seven things the Lord hates, and why each one starts in the heart.
God doesn’t love everything. Hate is the strongest possible word for being against something, and you can’t have real love without real hate. An abomination is something disgusting that God won’t accept. First on the list is pride: haughty eyes, looking down on others, rolling eyes. Sometimes when we’re asked to do something and our heart isn’t in it, it shows in our eyes. Then lying comes next, and then violence arrives, hands that shed innocent blood. God hates these things, but will He forgive? Yes, when there’s a heart change and true repentance, and only through Jesus.
The heart is the issue. Pride leads to a heart that devises wicked plans and feet that run quickly to evil. Solomon finishes with a false witness who breathes out lies and one who sows discord among brothers. We talk about self-preservation versus doing what’s right, and why it’s important to catch ourselves when we see these things in us and ask God to change our hearts.
