Introduction

In this paragraph the writer of Proverbs condemns 7 specific characteristics because they deny the divine element in humanity. In today’s sermon we are going to take each one of these characteristics in to our consideration. These are actually specific personal attitudes and actions, even Christians could have and must overcome by God’s grace. Let’s see carefully.

There are six things that the LORD hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him:  haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,  a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift to run to evil,  a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who spreads discord among family members.   (Proverbs 6:16-19, NET)
