Many are being deceived to take pleasure in committing secret sin, forgetting that those who have gone before them are already in the depths of hell. Be not deceived, all your evil thoughts are loud enough in the ears of the Lord and they are punishable by Him except you repent. Be warned, there's an eye watching you.

The Word of God is infallible. Some people doubt the veracity of God's word when they compare references in the Old Testament with the words of Jesus in our key text. They support their ungodly retaliatory actions with the misinterpretation of these Scriptures: (Exodus 21:22-25; Leviticus 24:19-20; Deuteronomy 19:18-21). But these verses do not in any way support retaliation. The judges are to apply them to convicted persons while the law enforcement officers (not the victims) execute the court orders.

In the multitude of words you will find exaggeration, pride, hypocrisy, lying, slander, gossip, etc. To avoid talkativeness let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. There is a time to be silent, and a time to speak - Ecclesiastes 3:7b. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding - Proverbs 17:28. May the Lord help us to know when to speak.

Whatever God does not do remains undone. If God does not help you, nobody can help you. Your help can only come from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. He alone can save the sinner, deliver the oppressed, restore the backslider, heal the sick, help the helpless, provide for the needy, and turn their situations around for the best.

Be sure that you are not hypocritical in your walk with God because the Lord will reject all religious pretenders in the end. Whereas we are not allowed to judge others, the Scripture commands us to judge ourselves. Judge not, that ye be not judged - Matthew 7:1. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged - 1 Corinthians 11:31.
