What's Your Excuse? Psalm 1:5 NKJV

I've heard a lot of excuses over the years, you probably have too. Maybe you have even used those excuses in the past, I know I have. Maybe you're still using them. 

The church is full of hypocrites. 

Church is boring. 

I can worship God anywhere. 

I haven't found a good church. 

I'm too busy. 

Sunday is my only day to sleep in. 

The service is too long. 

I need to clean up my act first. 

Verse 5 continues on the thought of separating the chaff from the wheat. It tells us at the time of judgment, sinners will not be able to stand before the Judgment Seat of God. Unbelievers will be separated from believers just as Matthew 25:31-34; 41-46 tells us:

31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit upon His glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered in His presence, and He will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep at His right hand and the goats at His left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 

41 “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.  42 For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed Me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give Me a drink. 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite Me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give Me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit Me.’

44 “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help You?’

45 “And He will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help Me.’

46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

Psalm 1:5 NKJV 

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Psalm

So, what's your excuse?
