Long List

“Hate evil, you who love the Lord, who preserves the soul of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Light is sown like seed for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones; and give thanks to His holy name.” Psalm 97:10-12

“For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power, and avoid such men as these.” II Timothy 3:2-5

When we think of “being good,” we think we are good if we don’t murder or steal; but there are many lists in Scripture meant to show us that avoiding some sins is not enough, because we still do others – and just one unconfessed sin in our life is enough to break our clear communication with the Father. Just consider this list in II Timothy. It helps us remember our need of the Savior every moment of every day.

Run to God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Please pray for the women you know this week who do so much and sometimes stand alone.
