Psalm 36:1 I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes.

How often are you upset with what people get up to which works against God?

Sometimes we do turn off and move on to a different place just to get away from the sinfulness of the people around us; but should we be staying and upholding God’s ways?

You don’t have to start a riot to draw people’s attention to what they are doing wrong, a simple word or action may well speak more than an angry retaliation!

God needs up to keep His Word in the public eye and sometimes rioting can do the exact opposite and take attention away from God and His ways!

John 5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

How easily are you lead into believing a story someone is telling you – be honest, we are all gullible to a certain extent!

God has warned us enough times we have to be very aware the evil one is going to try and trick us into following him rather than God, but we still refuse to listen.

We can look at various countries all around the world, including right here, and see how people are fooled into following others who clearly do not know what they are doing.

It’s time to stop and trust in God’s Word!

Mark 12:33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

The more I see people trying to prove they are good enough or they are worthy, the more I wonder how they have got to the stage where they believe that is what is required…

Jesus came to show us the way to live and the way to love – we have got too caught up in worldly ways to see the simplicity of His Word.

Man's pride and greed takes him far beyond the simple ways Christ wants us to live; we need to turn back to following Christ first of all.
