When God’s Will is Different than We Expected
I think we can safely say that everyone’s 2020 turned out differently than they expected. So how do we keep from getting discouraged about next year?
Taking Time to Ponder
Christmas is over, and in the aftermath of the busyness and celebration, it is good to take time to ponder all the things God has done for you.
Prepare Him Room

We don’t like to talk about God hating things. After all, doesn’t the Bible say that God is love? The truth is, it does, but it also says that God is holy, just, pure, good, and perfect. He cannot be all that without hating the sin that destroys the people He created. God’s attributes are inseparable. You cannot talk about one without taking into account all the others.
So, with all God’s attributes in mind, let’s look at seven things God’s Word says He hates.
