Proverbs 15 25 says the Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow. Those first four words really throw some people into a fit. Anytime you're talking not only to unsaved people, but any lukewarm, Laodicean-professing Christian who attends the typical megachurch, or even smaller church that is modeled on the megachurches, you're most likely to find that the idea that the Lord will destroy anyone, ever, is repulsive to them. You see, most people do not diligently search the scriptures and study the Word of God in order to learn more about God in His words. Most people just make up a God. And I'm talking about most church members and even probably a majority of professing Christians who may be even saved. He's a God made in their own image, or at least is a God of their own imagination. In John 5.39, Jesus said, In Matthew 11, 29, Jesus also said, Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Over and over, we're told by God in God's Word that the only accurate, infallible source of knowledge about God is in God's Word, the Holy Bible. Yet the opinions held about God by the masses in America today are not based upon the Bible, but on simply what man thinks about God, or what man desires in their own idea of God. The result? The God of the masses is no more real or realistic than is Santa Claus, Superman, or Jack Frost. And this fictitious God doesn't demand perfect holiness. He just wants you to do your best and be true to yourself and follow your heart. But you know what the God of the Bible says about following your heart? Proverbs 28, 26 says, He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool. So in our day, the wise man will not follow his heart, and the wise man will not follow the majority. The wise man and wise woman will get used to being in the minority and being shunned, mocked, and made fun of as he or she follows God's word. Sadly, those who make up a god in their own image and in their own imagination are destined for the very destruction spoken of in our proverb, the Lord will destroy the house of the proud. The prophet Jeremiah described the majority in his own day of apostasy And that crowd was described in this way in Jeremiah 4.22, for my people is foolish. They have not known me. They are Saddish children, and they have none understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. So don't choose to follow fake gods, even those promoted by fake or false or even real professing Christians. It doesn't matter. We should choose to heed the warnings like this one given by Paul the Apostle in 1 Corinthians 3, 16 and 17. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple are ye? So even a Christian can face destruction. It doesn't mean they lose their salvation and go to hell, but it does mean the destruction of their lives and or the end of their lives here on earth. But the unsaved face eternal destruction if they reject God's offer of forgiveness and salvation to those who will repent toward God with faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ, believing how that Christ died on the cross, shedding His blood as payment for sin, and then rose from the grave after three days and three nights in victory over sin, death, and hell. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but he will save all who will throw away the gods of their own imagination and come to him. Luke 19 verse 10 sums it up in Jesus' own words. Jesus said about himself, For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. But the lost must acknowledge their need, that they are lost, and they must accept the God of the Bible, not a God who is the figment of their own imagination, or the figment of the imagination of some false religion or false teacher.
