Six Deadly Sins, Part 1
July 25, 2012
As we get through the first few chapters of Isaiah, we see a connection between Isaiah’s teachings to the nations of Israel and our nation today. Sin plagued Israel just as it plagues America, but Pastor Jeff tells us that we can still pursue God and bear fruit for Him, no matter what those around us are doing. Examine your own heart, and be sure you’re living for the Lord.

In today’s sobering devotional, we learn how far Israel fell before she was captured and entered into captivity. Isaiah records how the people were haughty and proud, depending on their wealth and status instead of on God. They flaunted their sin in public, and God allowed them to be brought into captivity. God is patient, yet He is just. He will bring us to the end of ourselves in order to draw us back to Him, just as He did with Israel.

The prophet Isaiah records the judgment that the Lord metes out on those who reject Him. We are no longer “one nation under God.” Instead, we are living in the Day of Man. In today’s study, Pastor Jeff reminds us of the boldness of Isaiah, and encourages us to be like him! Don’t let your fear of man keep you from ministering through your godly actions, words, and attitude.

In the book of Isaiah, we see Israel’s sins — they turned from the Lord, they followed other gods, and they looked to their own strength and money for salvation. Today, Pastor Jeff warns us against making the same mistakes that Israel did. Because we know the truth, God will judge us severely if we turn away from Him.

Without salvation, no one can understand the fulfillment we have in Christ. Sadly, we are living in a time when man is proud and seeks only to satisfy himself. In today’s study, the prophet Isaiah speaks of the folly of pride, and the Lord’s judgment on the haughty!

Our Christian walk should take us forward, not backward. Salvation is only the beginning of our work for the Lord! Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the purpose of spiritual maturity is to be able to minister to others. If you are lax in your walk, how will you bless those around you?

As we get into Isaiah 2, Pastor Jeff explains why it is such an important book. Sometimes we can get bogged down in the Old Testament; but through the prophets, God has given us a wealth of prophecy and knowledge of the end-times. Thankfully, he has given us the Holy Spirit to make His Word plain to us!

1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Pastor Jeff warns us that sin isn’t bad because it’s forbidden — sin is forbidden because it’s bad! Sin will destroy your peace and ruin your life. And be sure that your sins will find you out!

One big topic in the Old Testament is judgment. God appointed His prophets to announce judgment on the wicked. And yet that is exactly where our country is headed. Instead of wasting our lives, we need to buckle down and involve ourselves in God’s work. We don’t know how much time is left, but we know that God will judge the corruption in our country and the world.

Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Without a shepherd, sheep are lost. They have no protection and no direction whatsoever. This is why God compares His people to sheep. Without Him, we are lost and have no direction. Yet when the Lord is our shepherd, we have purpose, protection, and fulfillment in our lives.

Prophecy is a huge part of Scripture, and it is often underrated. But as we get into Isaiah, we see how important prophecy really is! God uses it to comfort us — we see how He has planned for the future. We also see how the Lord keeps His Word.
