Are You Righteous or Wicked? (Getting in balance with God, Proverbs 11:4-11)


When God balances the world on his scales of justice where will you be found? Will you be found without fault, or will you be found wanting? Will you be rewarded with the righteous or punished with the wicked? In this sermon we deal with these crucial questions and show how imperfect people such as us can not only be fond righteous but also thrive in holiness before God. We also show how we can influence our world for Good and have eternal benefits in the life to come rather than merely surviving in this world alone.

Proverbs 11 - Authorized (King James) Version
1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight. 
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. 
7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. 
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. 
9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. 
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. 
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
