What two kinds of sin or sinners are said in this passage to be an abomination to the Lord? Answer: perverse heart and lying lips.
What other sins are condemned here? In what ways are they traced to their origin in the heart? Cf. 4:23; Matt 12:34-35; 15:18-19. Answer: I see first off the love of money and things that bring people to ruin.
Apply to yourself the five principles for the using of money expressed in 11:24-28. Answer: That is hard to do, especially in today’s world where we are inundated with ads to convince us to buy things we don’t need. This leads to more spending and increasing credit and pulling from what is really Gods to begin with.
