A WORD TO THE WISE: Proverbs 28: 10 "The Most Dangerous Kind"

Proverbs 28: 10     Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he himself will fall into his own pit; but the blameless will inherit good.

Proverbs 28: 10.  Some people hate it when other folks do good.  Mind my grammar now.  I don’t mean simply that they hate to see other people do WELL.  I’m talking about people who hate to see others do GOOD.

These people aren’t just mad that you and your wife bought a house; they’re pissed because you and your wife are faithful to each other.   Some folks are jealous of the choir director because of her talent; others are angry because she’s actually a nice person who loves God, minds her business, and focuses on worship instead of church politics.   Some people hate Tim Tebow because of his playing style or his team affiliation; others despise him because he speaks the name of Jesus in reverence not in profanity.

When the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, satan didn’t just want to see humanity evicted from their home and demoted to a level of pain and frustration.  Satan wanted Adam and Eve to violate God’s commandment and then die.  The devil wanted Adam and Eve to go to Hell, too.  

Too.

The spirits and people who, like satan, have embraced their sin and rebelled against God in their hearts will use the same tactic.    They will do everything they can to encourage anyone who walks righteously to stop doing GOOD.

It’s not enough for them that they seem to get away with their sin but they want you to join them and endorse their particular wrongness.    If you don’t then you’re “intolerant”  or “judgmental” or “phobic.”

The most dangerous sinner is the sinner who wants the righteous to become sinners, too. 

 

Such people are a danger to others and to themselves.  They try to make room for others in their pit of sin, but they’re just digging  themselves into a deeper and deeper spiritual hole.   Don’t let them pull you in.  If you do BAD then BAD is what you’ll get.

Stay in the light where God is.  Stay in the light of Jesus Christ.  Keep doing GOOD and you will do WELL.
