In Psalms 1, the Word says not to sit in the seat of the scornful. Sometimes when I am watching the national news, I become a little scornful of what the liberal news is trying to promote. My wife gets a little upset at me. Do you think that you could clear this up for me?

Sefton- Instead of giving your opinion,ask her if she can imagine what God has to say about those matters.If you both disagree,go to the word of God to find God's thoughts.Marriage is spoken of as what God hath joined together,let it be so.

Robert: Psalms 1: & 2 is saying to walk/follow God law not mans, Gods law is the law He wrote with His own finger the Ten Commandments. In Psalms 1:4 & 5 it tells us the ungodly are those who do not walk/follow God's law but go against the Ten Commandments, they will not stand in the judgment for they have not followed Gods laws but mans. Being scornful is feeling or expressing contempt or derision..If we are following God and His laws we will not be scornful..If we do then we must repent. I used to be this way watching the news, I quit watching and it changed my whole attitude and outlook, only get enough snippets of news to keep up, that's it..God Bless..

The scornful mentioned here would be those that reject and ridicule the LORD and his ways. In that seat, they influence others to follow in their wrong path to ruin. I suggest using the word search at the top left of the chapter page to search other instances of the word "scorn" for more insight. We must be careful in our standing for truth that we don't become revilers, with verbal abuse, toward those who are blind to the good news of Jesus Christ, but rather pray the LORD would open their understanding.
