Vanity, arrogance, & God? Proverbs 8:13 ; 3:7

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

I have been and continue to read about Dietrich Bonhoeffer and while reading he stimulates a lot of thought about me, about my Christianity, and how Christians act. Here are quotes I found quite interesting.

"It is much easier for me to imagine
a praying murderer, a praying prostitute,
than a vain person praying. Nothing is so
at odds with prayer as vanity."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Christianity contains within itself a germ
hostile to the church." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The more a person fears and respects God, the more he or she will hate evil. What is evil? The things of this world that we put above God. Love for God and love for sin cannot coexist. Harboring secret sins means that your are tolerating evil within yourself. Make a clean break with sin and commit yourself completely to God.

Proverbs 8:13 "All who fear the LORD will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech."
Proverbs 3:7 "Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil."

Re-read Bonhoeffer's quotes, then the scripture. LET GO OF ALL IN THE WORLD. You have sorrows, troubles, things happening - LET GO! God is in control. It is not about YOU!!!! IT IS ABOUT JESUS, yes JESUS! Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
