Do the Opposite of These Seven Things for a Happy Healthy Life.

These seven things are more common than you might think. Often people do them without realization resulting in undue strife for themselves.

The Big Seven can cause difficulty for you and your immediate as well as your extended family. Let's recognize, repent, and reverse the negative effects of the Big Seven with love and respect for everyone. Truly love your neighbor as yourself, Mark 12:31.

There are seven things that God hates according to the Holy Bible. God hates pride, lies, murder, scheming, depravity, perjury, and divisiveness, Proverbs 6:6-19. So, if God hates it, we probably should not do it, right? As my grandchildren would say, “Obviously.” Yet, in many cases, what is obvious and what might seem like common sense, is not always common practice.

Anyone with an internet connection today can post advice on the world wide web when they know nothing about the subject on which they profess to be an expert. Most of these people are trying to make money through clicks, likes, subscriptions and advertisements. As a result, they will post anything to get your attention and much of this advice encourages participation in the seven things God hates, except for murder, perhaps.

Unfortunately, many people follow the advice these “experts” publish. Plus, people with a point to prove will search exhaustively and accept any opinion like their own regardless of the author’s credentials and experience. Please remember that perception is not reality and truth can only be found in God’s Word. Please also remember that only bad advice contradicts the Word of God.

If you are involved in any of the seven things God hates, especially causing trouble with your fellow human beings, please stop, repent, and examine your personal daily walk with Jesus Christ. He is faithful to forgive. Next you must reach out to mend fences and build bridges with those whom you have hurt. If you do not know Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can do this now by simply praying that He become the Lord of your life and forgive you of your sins. If you prayed this just now or need help with this prayer, please let me know.

P.S. To my three grandchildren: I love you. I miss you. I cherish every moment with you. I hope to see you soon. I contribute to your college fund monthly.
