Comment by Rev. ;. IL. Doyle.

ToP1c-Things that keep from God
Prov. VI, 1913; viii, 1871.
In the first topical reference we have
u catalogue Of things which God hates,
These things are all sins, for God hates
sin, and He hates nothing hut sin. ltal-
20 follows that since these things are
sins they will keep us from God, for
sin always keeps Us from Him, and II Is
the only thing that will Until sin en-
tered into the world. God and man en-
hoyed the most intimate friendship and
association. but no sooner did sin enter
than man was driven from paradise and
from God.
There are seven things mentioned ii
these verses that will keep Us from God,
because sod hates them;
!. Pride. God hates proud heart,
and it will keep US from Him. He hate.
pride not only because 1t j. wrong IN It
self, but also because 1t leads to many
other sins. A proud heart, naughty
spirit, are an abominatlon unto the Lord.
Hum hleness Of mind, cOntrlteness q
spirit, He delights III.
.. FaIsehood. A lying tongue God al
so hates Falsehood, deceit, fraud, are
all hateful in the sight Of God. God
loves truth and truthfulness He abhors
the opposite, and it can find no favor IN
His sight.
8. Cruelty. Hands that shed limo
cent blood describes the third thing
that is hateful to God. Bloodthirstiness
or a spirit Of hatred that would shed
blood If it dared Will keep any one from
God
T. Inward sinfulness A heart that
devlseth wicked lmaginatlons. y . Bless
ed are the pure in heart, for they shall
see God" hut the wicked and sinful
and impure in heart shall never see Him.
s. Outward sinfulness. Feet that be
swift IN running TO mischief. " Inward
sinfulness leads to outward acts Of sin.
1mpurity of heart will lead TO impuri-
ty of life, and not only the one, but also
the other, is abominable in the sight Of
God.
c. False witness bearing. This IS al
SO lying, SO that we can see that God
doubly hates this sin. Bearing false
witness IS most contemplate evil,
both in the sight Of God and Of man.
:. Mischief making This Is the last
sin mentioned which God hates. l. Is
last, but by no means least. Tale bear
ers and slauderers who blow the Goals
of strife and contention are bat light
ing flame that shall consume them
selves. God hates al these things, hut
He loves those who love Him. II We
love God, we viii hate sin and Will

TO HIM IN bonds that shall never be bro
