08/30/22 SPITTING IN THE FACE OF GOD

It is one thing to not know truth; another to not follow it; yet another to spit in its face (Lk. 12:43-48; Ja. 4:17).

 Luke 12:43-48
(43)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
(44)  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
(45)  But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
(46)  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
(47)  And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
(48)  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

James 4:17
(17)  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
