Proverbs 28:13
He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever
confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
Everything That Seems Right Is
Not Always Right
It’s alright as long as you don’t hurt anybody but yourself.
Wrong doing hurts the Lord
Heb.6:4-6
Wrong doing hurts fellow church members
1 Cor. 12:26-27
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it;
or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Don’t Go On Feelings Alone
Prov. 14:11-14
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but
the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the
end of that mirth is heaviness.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his
own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from
himself.
The Grass Is Not Always Greener
On The Other Side
Tired of my
mate.
I wish I had what
they have.
My neighbor’s
is better than
mine.
Phil. 4:11-13
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have
learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be
content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to
abound: every where and in all things I am instructed
both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and
to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.
Luke 12:13-15
13 And one of the company said unto him,
Master, speak to my brother, that he divide
the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made
me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed,
and beware of covetousness: for a man's
life consisteth not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth.
Lot Found Out
Gen. 13:7-13
7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of
Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee,
and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt
take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I
will go to the left.
10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well
watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the
garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they
separated themselves the one from the other.
12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and
pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Taking The Wrong Turn Can Cause
much sorrow And Pain
Judas
2 And when they had bound Him,
they led Him away and delivered
Him to Pontius[a] Pilate the
governor.
3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was
remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent
blood.”
And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed,
and went and hanged himself.
Do We Know When We Are Wrong?
• Sometimes we think that we are right when we are wrong.
Read 1 Tim. 1:12-15
• Sometimes we know exactly what we are doing
• James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and
doeth it not, to him it is sin.
• Heb. 10:26 If we sin wilfully after that we have received the
knowledge of the thruth,there remaineth no more sacrifice
for sins.

Acts 17:27
That they should seek the Lord, if haply
they might feel after him, and find him,
though he be not far from every one of
us:
