Moral ambivalence opens the door to wickedness and evil.
Our World is FULL of HATE.
They are haters of them that do good.
Let’s be honest, why that is.
What good people do, contrasts and highlights the need to do better.
The spirit of the heart of men and women is offended, “You think you are better!” When their conscience is telling them to do better. They project their thoughts onto others.

But rather than do better, they seek to silence and remove the contrast to their wickedness.
Cain killed Abel. Why?
Abels’s pure worship highlighted Cains selfish, lazy worship.
Cain prayed.
Cain worshipped.
Cain sacrificed.
Cain worshipped.
Cain sacrificed.
However, he could not abide by the challenge to pray, worship, and sacrifice better.
Cains ambivalence to what he should do caused him to do less.
His inferior worship highlighted his impure and inadequate worship that God rejected.
The result is a dead murdered brother.
He lived the rest of his life marked with a curse.
God will remember the saint and hear the voice of their worship after they are dead.
However, God will forget the worshipper who gives less than their priority or best.
” Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Matthew 22&23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Matthew 22&23
Ambivalent worshipper beware! Your ambiance to your obligation to God is the doorway to God’s favor and blessing.
Lipservice will not bring fulfillment.
Half-hearted worship will not bring you favor.
The unwillingness to make God a priority will only hurt you.
Giving God your best is the only way to be blessed.

Giving God your best is the only way to be blessed.
Ambivalence to God and our haphazard worship and respect of Him could one day become a cursed mark while being driven out of his presence.
Please read the story as it is recorded in scripture and glean its lessons.
Genesis 4
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
