“The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But He loves one who pursues righteousness.
Grievous punishment is for him who forsakes the way;
He who hates reproof will die.” (Proverbs 15:8-10 NASB1995)
If all we do is go through the motions of religious practice, but it has no impact on how we live for the Lord, and no longer for self, it is not acceptable to God. If all we do is go to a “church” service once or twice a week, and we sing the songs, and we listen to the sermon, but then we go home and resume our selfish existence in doing whatever gives us pleasure, it is rejected by God as true worship of him. For God is not interested in our forms of worship. He is interested in our submission and obedience to him.
And the prayer of the upright, if the person is truly living for the Lord, no longer in slavery to sin, but in walks of obedience to his commands, should be in line with God’s will and purpose for our lives. It doesn’t mean that we always know his will in certain situations, but that we should be those who pray for the will of God to be done. And we should not pray for things which we know are out of the will of God, for our own selfish pleasures. But our prayers should lift up the name of Jesus and should be what give him glory.
The way of the wicked is the way of sin and selfishness and worldly desires, which come from what is stored up in their hearts. It is all self-driven and for selfish motives and to fulfill the lustful desires of the flesh, regardless of who gets hurt in the process. “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person.” “And the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil.” (See Matthew 15:17-20; Luke 6:45) This is the way of the wicked.
But God loves one who pursues righteousness. Amen! He does indeed! For we read in the New Testament that by faith in Jesus Christ we are to die with Christ to sin and now walk with him in surrender to his will in living holy lives pleasing to God, in the power of God at work within us. For by faith in Jesus Christ we are raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness. For it is those who practice righteousness who are truly righteous in the sight of the Lord.
Yes, grievous punishment is for them who forsake the way of the Lord, who hate reproof, and who go their own sinful way, instead. And this includes all who make verbal professions of faith in Jesus Christ but who then who go on sinning against God, and against other humans, without care or concern, deliberately and habitually, and who will not submit to Christ’s Lordship, and who will not bow to God in surrender to his will. Their lip service to God will not grant them salvation from sin nor eternal life with God in heaven.
For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).
[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.
Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
