Paul quotes parts of<span class=\"footnote-text\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"footnote-text\">Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Eccles. 7:2;\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"footnote-text\">Psalm 5:9;\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"footnote-text\">Psalm 140:3;\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"footnote-text\">Psalm 10:7;\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"footnote-text\">Isaiah 59:7,8;\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"footnote-text\">Psalm 36:1. One topic is how the mouth speaks foul words. This may be due to how sin shows up in what people say and how they say it. Another issue is that they how they live leads to tragedy and problem. They do not experience any peace. Their lives are broken. The bottom line is that they do not fear God. The fear of God is related to worship. The core problem with sin is worshipping something or someone else other than God. Fear of the Lord should be shown by sincere worship and commitment of the self to God. Paul will write about this later in ch. 6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For older posts, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/acky4.com\/wp\/blog\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=DavidAckermanDailyDevotions&amp;loc=en_US\">Subscribe to Daily Devotions by Email<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romans 3:13-18 \u201cTheir throats are open graves;\u00a0their tongues practice deceit.\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe poison of vipers is on their lips.\u201d\u00a014\u201cTheir mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.\u201d\u00a015\u201cTheir feet are swift to shed blood;\u00a016\u00a0ruin and misery mark their ways,\u00a017and the way of peace they do not know.\u201d\u00a018\u201cThere is no fear of God before their eyes.
