Psalms 1:1-2, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”
I could write a book on just this Bible passage. I love Psalms chapter one. By the way, this is one of the first Scripture passages that I recommend for people to commit to memory.
Walk Not In The Counsel of The Ungodly
We read in verse one, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” This is some of the best advice you will ever receive from the Lord. I could tell you of tragic stories of what has happened to people because they accepted ungodly counsel from worldly people. Particularly in marriage disputes. People will destroy your marriage if you let them. A marriage can only be destroyed from within. When a marriage is struggling, wicked people so often take sides with the wife, convincing her it is best to file for divorce. I have seen this happen time after time. Sadly, religious people can be some of the most rotten and destructive influences on a troubled marriage. I wish people would mind their own business and stay out of other people's marriage problems.
Dear reader, the Bible tells us not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly. Here is a typical example of the ungodly selfish type of worldly Satanic advice you'll get from the heathen. This foolish woman gives 15 reasons when you should file for divorce. One of her horrible reasons is if you want things to be different. How selfish! What saith the Scripture? Mark 10:9, “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” The word “divorce” ought not even be in your vocabulary as a child of God. Let the Devil's children get a divorce.
I cannot warn you enough to avoid fools like The View and Oprah Winfrey on television. They are wicked people who promote the homosexual agenda. They are promoting the Devil's narrative, not the teachings of the inspired Holy Bible. Please search the Scriptures to learn godly principles and wisdom to make life's decisions. That is what the Bible means in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” We acknowledge God by living in the teachings of the inspired Scriptures. By “inspired” I mean that they are God's Words. That is, God gave them to humanity, penned through sinful men which God made holy (2nd Peter 1:21). The Bible is not merely the words of men.
Another immoral agenda being shoved down American's throats today is transgenderism. There's a lot of ungodly advice online advising parents to accept and go along with their child who claims to be the opposite gender. The mother is this meme has the right attitude...
Stand Not In The Way Of Sinners
We read again in Psalms 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” We ought not stand in the way of sinners. That means not to hang around with worldly friends. Bad friends can ruin you! Prisons are full of innocent people who were merely present when a horrible crime was committed by a friend, acquaintance or neighbour, and they suffered for it.
A perfect example is William “Roddie” Bryan, who was sentenced in 2021 to 30 years in prison for the murder of 25 year old Ahmaud Arbery. I feel so sorry for William. His neighbours (a father and son) yelled for him to jump into their truck, and he did, trusting his neighbours. Little did he know that they were going after a young black man who was jogging down the street. William said nothing. He was simply present when his neighbour's son got into a scuffle with Ahmaud, and as he grabbed the gun it went off and killed him. William never picked up a weapon. He never said a word. He was just there, and the jury found him guilty. That is injustice!!!
With Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson present in the courtroom, it was guaranteed that either the jury would under pressure find these men guilty, or angry black Americans would have burned half the cities in Georgia to the ground. There is no way to have a fair outcome when such extreme political pressure is exerted on the whole court process. In the United States we have a justice system that is run by mob rule!
But you get the point. The Bible tells us not to stand in the way of sinners! That means to be very careful who you choose as friends. I guarantee you that William regrets ever getting into his neighbor's truck that day. Would to God that he had been at a doctor's appointment, or sick in bed, or any one of a thousand other places than in that truck that horrible day! I feel sorry for his wife, who lost her husband. This is why for several years my favorite Bible verse has been Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Think dear friend. Get in your King James Bible and learn God's ways. The Bible is our instruction Book!!!
I don't have any close friends locally. I'd love to have a good friend, like David and Jonathan were dear friends. I haven't been blessed to find such a true friend. I have some good ministry friends online across the world. I have a few good friends in Africa. I have a very good friend in Indiana. I have a fairly good friend in Texas. These are all born again Christians. I doubt if I'd ever get into anyone's car just because they asked me too. I am very cautious about people! In today's world you need to be very careful who you trust, and even whose vehicle you get into with. Proverbs 22:3, “A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
Don't Sit In The Seat Of The Scornful
Singer Elton John comes to mind, who God willing will turn 77 years old on March 25th, 2024. Sir Elton “Hercules” John (born in 1947 as Reginald Kenneth Dwight) has openly called for world governments to ban all organized religion, which he perceives as the greatest threat to the homosexual community. Elton is a scorner! He blasphemes the inspired Word of God. My heart goes out to Elton and David Furnace (his partner) because without being born-again (which comes through faith in Jesus Christ) they cannot go to Heaven (John 3:3).
Live In The Inspired Word Of God
Psalms 1:1-2, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” The Bible says that the man who does not take the advice of wicked people is blessed. He does not run with sinners. He doesn't go to the stripclub after work with ungodly sinners. He avoids casinos. He stays away from nightclubs. He does not attack, slander and place God on trial as do wicked sinners; and for these things God calls him blessed. I don't know about you, but I want to be blessed of God. This man's delight is in the Law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate (thinking about) day and night. How many people do this?
The old adage is true: Either sin will keep you from the Bible, or the Bible will keep you from sin. Television in particular desensitizes the viewer to the awfulness of sin. When Hollywood or Netflix produce a movie, there is usually a one to two minute sleazy scene in the movie. That is the main part the Devil's crowd want you to watch, and they build the whole movie around that one to two minute smut scene to corrupt your mind further. Hollywood and Netflix much blood on their hands for pulling on the same rope as the Devil. Satan is a beautiful liar!
The man who delights in the Word of God is blessed. That is so rare nowadays to find someone who truly enjoys reading, studying and talking about the Bible. Even when I was in Bible college, some students didn't want to talk about the Bible. I attended Hyles-Anderson College between 1985 to 1993, when I graduated on the Dean's List with honors. I cherish my time under the great soulwinning ministry of Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). Dr. Hyles had many enemies, as do ALL Bible preachers who stand for what is true and right. This immoral wicked world today hates Christians, the Bible and Jesus (John 7:7; 15:18-19). I only had a couple friends in Bible college that loved to talk about the Bible truths we had learned.
I have never lost my love of the King James Bible! I learned a very long time ago that the fastest way to get rid of 99% of people is to just start talking about the Word of God. They will quickly leave as if you have the Bubonic Plague, COVID-19, Anthrax and the A.I.D.S. virus.
I have been faithfully preaching the Word of God online since 2002. That is why 95% of my website articles have been censored. I preach THE TRUTH that abortion, homosexuality, public nakedness, feminism, stealing, divorce and covetousness are all wicked sins! I am one of very few preachers who expose Satan's deadly neo-evangelical colleges; namely, schools like Pensacola Christian College and Bob Jones University (both of which preach a fake plan of salvation). Somebody has got to care! Somebody has got to pay attention to the details. I don't merely blindly follow whatever some pastor spoon feeds my mind. I question everything, as the Holy Bible commands believers to do in 1st John 4:1. This is why the Apostle Paul said the Bereans were noble, because they searched the Scriptures daily to verify things (Acts 17:10-11). May we also do the same.
