Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template:
1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “ ” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background.
3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation.
4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful.
Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one. Check for more information.

Prov 3: Bible Doctrine combats fear, vs Impersonal and Unconditional Love toward your neighbors, vs God’s dealings with the wicked and the righteous, vs

7. 3. God’s dealings with the wicked and the righteous, vs. 32-35 Part 1

8. This part gives us a stark contrast in God’s mind between the unbeliever and the believer. The reversionistic believer can also be characterized with many of the traits the unbeliever possesses.

9. “Devious” - LUZ “To turn aside, depart, or deviate
“Devious” - LUZ “To turn aside, depart, or deviate.” Those who act wickedly have a result back to themselves causing them to be wicked.

10. The straight path is following God’s Word for your life
The straight path is following God’s Word for your life. The Devious person is one who has rejected Bible Doctrine and is living in Satan’s Cosmic System.

11. Prov 14:2, “He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is devious (LUZ) in his ways despises Him.” Cf. Prov 2:12-15.

12. Our Lord tells us what He really thinks about these individuals, they are an “abomination to Him.”

13. “Abomination” - TOEBAH, “A disgusting or detestable thing, abomination, or abominable.” Its root word means, “to be faulty, corrupted, polluted or afflicted with a weakness.”

14. “An abhorrence for someone or something, something that elicits great dislike or abhorrence, loathing, detestable, and thoroughly unpleasant.”

15. TOEBAH is primarily used of things, persons or practices that are either ritually or morally offensive to the Lord.

16. The Law noted what was abominable to the Lord, including a wide range of sexual offenses, and specifically homosexuality. Lev 18:22, (6-23); Lev 20:13, (10-21)

17. “Abomination to the Lord” indicates anything that could spoil the religious purity of the people.

18. In Deut: Using the gold and silver from false god images, 7:25f; sacrificing children by fire in the worship of other gods, 12:31; eating the meat of unclean animals, 14:3; …

19. … sacrificing unacceptable animals, 17:1; using income from cultic prostitution as an offering to the Lord, 23:18; and making carved images or cast idols, 27:15.

20. Of spoiling moral purity it included, cross-gender dressing, 22:5; remarrying your divorced wife, divorced from another man, 24:4; and using dishonest measures in business, 25:15f.

21. Proverbs denotes bad moral conduct of a social kind: The corrupt person, 3:32; false weights or scales in business, 11:1; 20:23; a false heart and lying lips, 11:20; 12:22; …

22. The sacrifice of the wicked, 15:8; evil plans 15:26; the arrogant, 16:5; the wrongdoing of wicked kings, 16:12; those who justify the wicked and condemn the righteous, 17:15;

23. ... mockers of Bible Doctrine, 24:9; the prayers of those who turn away from learning Bible Doctrine, 28:9; and the unjust man, 29:27a.

24. Prov 6:16-19, tells us of “Seven Things” that are an abomination to the Lord.

25. It also has a list of what is abominable to the wicked including: Turning away from evil, 13:19, and those who are “upright in the way”, 29:27b.

26. The phrase “abomination of desolation” regarding Antichrist worship of the Tribulation uses a different word, SHIQQUT, in Dan 11:31; 12:11. cf. Mat 24:15; Mark 13:14.

27. Deviation resulting in loathing sets a distance between the Lord and the perverse, but the Lord takes the upright into His counsel.
