2. Proverbs 15:6 In
the house of the righteous is much
treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is
trouble.
The more the wicked obtain, the
more trouble they get into.
Proverbs 10 22 The blessing of the LORD, it
maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.

3. Wicked is bad
enough, but rich and
wicked is worse.
Dennis Rodman would have probably been wicked
even with no money, but money and fame have
allowed him to get involved with a North Korean
dictator.

4. 7 The
lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the
heart of the foolish doeth not so.
Don’t seek advice from anyone who lives foolishly.
Seek advice from someone who lives a godly life.
A godly man or woman won’t tell you what you
want to hear, but rather, what you need to hear.

5. Avoid those who will agree
with you in your sin.
Seek the company of
those who live
righteously.

6. 8 The
sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to
the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is His
delight.
Hebrews 13 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us
continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise -- the
fruit of lips that confess His Name. 16 And do not
forget to do good and to share with others, for with
such sacrifices God is pleased. NIV

7. 1 Samuel 15:22 (TLB) 22 Samuel replied, "Has the
Lord as much pleasure in your burnt offerings and
sacrifices as in your obedience? Obedience is far
better than sacrifice. He is much more interested in
your listening to Him than in your offering the fat
of rams to Him.
James 5:16 (KJV) Confess your faults one to
another, and pray one for another, that ye may be
healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much.

8. There is only one prayer that a wicked person can
pray that God will answer.
“Lord be merciful to
me a sinner.”
Repentant

9. 9 The
way of the wicked is an abomination unto the
LORD: but He loveth him that followeth after
righteousness.
The Word of God clearly defines the way of the
wicked and the Way of righteousness.
Each person chooses for himself.

10. Proverbs 23 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who
hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath
wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek
mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is
red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it
moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a
serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall
behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter
perverse things. The way of the wicked
Drinking and drugging lowers inhibitions.
One does things he wouldn’t otherwise do.

11. 1 Corinthians 6 16 What? know ye not that he which
is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he,
shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the
Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that
a man doeth is without the body; but he that
committeth fornication sinneth against his own
body.
The way of the wicked
Sexual sins are strongly warned against.
Will you choose to obey?
11

12. Ephesians 4:28 (KJV) Let him that stole steal no
more: but rather let him labor, working with his
hands the thing which is good, that he may have to
give to him that needeth. The wicked steal.
Revelation 21 8 But the fearful (cowardly), and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
It takes courage to serve the Lord.
12

13. God has clearly set before us the way of
righteousness and the way of the wicked.
Choose!
Do you have the courage to
serve the Lord?
