Remember and Obey: Avoid Abominations to the Lord

In this episode, we examine biblical “abominations”—practices God identifies as defiling, detestable, and incompatible with holy living. Beginning in Deuteronomy, the message contrasts the religious customs surrounding Israel with God’s call for His people to remain distinct, sincere, and wholly devoted to Him.

Through examples including blemished sacrifices, pagan worship, child sacrifice, divination, astrology, witchcraft, necromancy, and the tragic reign of Manasseh, this study shows that God does not accept worship shaped by the world’s standards. Instead, He calls His people to bring Him what is pure, consecrated, and fitting for His service.

The episode also considers Deuteronomy 22:5 alongside the creation account in Genesis, emphasizing God’s intentional design of humanity as male and female. Rather than focusing merely on changing styles of clothing, the message addresses the larger biblical principle of honoring God’s created order rather than deliberately producing or embracing confusion about it.

Ultimately, this sermon calls believers to examine every area of life—our worship, choices, bodies, identity, and outward testimony—and to live as vessels “meet for the master’s use,” prepared for every good work.
