SIGNS OF WICKEDNESS

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

Topic: SIGNS OF WICKEDNESS

NOT Seeking God

This is the first “surprising sign of wickedness”: NOT SEEKING GOD.
A person might be surprised at this; I don’t think most of us would put that at the top of a “Top 10 List” of wicked sins. We’d think of things like murder, adultery, abortion, homosexuality, etc., instead.
But think about it: God is by far and away the single most important Being in the universe.

Our whole existence is to revolve around Him. Jesus told us that THE Great Commandment is to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. In light of that, what could be more wicked than neglecting God by not seeking Him?

Romans 3 is famous for verse 23 which says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” And the greatest part of the chapter describes in detail the depravity of all mankind.
It says: “There is none righteous, there is not even one. There is none who understands, there is none who SEEKS for God.”

A lack of seeking God is right at the heart of the Bible’s condemnation of human wickedness.

P.T. Forsythe once said: “The greatest sin is prayerlessness.” It is the height of haughtiness to walk out into a day without praying and seeking God in His word — as if you did not need Him! And yet that is exactly what many of us do! It is absolutely wicked!

Now, Psalm 10 tells us something about WHY that is true. It says that the wicked person says in his heart: ‘there is no God.’”

The wicked does not seek God, because he doesn’t believe in Him. That just makes sense; they don’t seek Him because they don’t believe in Him. This teaches us that one of the sure signs of disbelief is NOT seeking God.

Are you going to seek him this week this month? If you seek him you will find him. Amen

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST TURN US FROM OUR WICKED WAY TO YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN JESUS NAME
