Psalm 5:4-6 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)
4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
no evil can dwell with You.
5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You destroy those who tell lies;
the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
God Delights NOT in Wickedness
In so many of today’s modern market-driven institutional “churches,”
partnered with the world and with the state (the government), they are teaching
a diluted and altered gospel message which is giving sinners the freedom to
keep on in their habitual and deliberate sins against God and against other
humans. Many of them are welcoming into their gatherings those that outwardly
display sinful acts, and they are embracing them, and they are not confronting
them in their sin nor calling them to repentance.
Although Jesus had compassion on sinners, and he loved them,
he never approved of their sin, but he called them to repentance and to
obedience to God. Some who were repentant he told them, “Go and sin no more.”
And with regard to the religious leaders in the temple who were hypocritical
liars, who did not obey God, he had some strong words for them. And Jesus’
message to all is that to come to him we must deny self, die to sin, and obey
his commands, as a matter of life practice, if we want eternal life with him.
If Jesus was still living in a human body, and if he was
still on this earth, he would be overturning tables and chairs in these
market-driven institutional “churches,” and he would be using a whip to drive
out all who were teaching lies to the people, and who were embracing sin, and
who were welcoming sinful acts into the gatherings of “the church.” And he
would be telling the people to come out from among them who teach lies and who
embrace sin lest they take part in their sin and become partners with them in
sin. See:
[Matthew 21:12-13;
John 2:13-17; Acts 5:27-32; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9; 2
Corinthians 6:14-18; Philippians 3:18-19; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22;
Revelation 13:5-8; Revelation 18:1-5]
God Hates Lies
We who believe in
Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, who have denied self, died
with him to sin, and who are presently walking (in conduct, in practice) in
obedience to his commands, and no longer as slaves to sin, should hate what God
hates and love what God loves. Now we are not to hate other humans. We are to
love all people. But love is preferring what God prefers, choosing his choices,
and obeying them in practice. So if we love people, we will tell them the truth
about what God will not approve.
We should be those
who call out the lies, who expose the lies for what they are, and who are
proclaiming the truth of God’s word to the people. We should be telling the
people that God requires of all who believe in him that we deny self, that we
turn from our sin, and that we now obey our Lord and his commands in practice.
But this will not make us popular. This will not make us well liked among the
people who are following after the lies and the liars. We may, in fact, lose
many friends when we speak truth and not lies.
For by
God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are
crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness
of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to
righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to
permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if
sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we
obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see
Romans 6:1-23).

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.
Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
