**16 that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.**


Gen 25:28-34

28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 When Jacob had cooked stew, Esau came in from the field and he was famished; 30 and Esau said to Jacob, "Please let me have a swallow of that red stuff there, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom. 31 But Jacob said, **"First sell me your birthright."** 32 Esau said, **"Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?"** 33 And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. **Thus Esau despised his birthright.**

**James 4:4**

4 You adulteresses, do you not know that **friendship with the world is hostility toward God?** Therefore whoever **wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.**


**1 John 2:16**

16 For all that is in the world, the **lust of the flesh** and the **lust of the eyes** and the **boastful pride of life**, is not from the Father, but is from the world.



**17 For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.**


**Heb 3:7-8**

7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,

"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME,


**Heb 3:13-15**

13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called **"Today,"** so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, 15 while it is said, **"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."**


**Heb 4:7**

7 He again fixes a certain day, **"Today,"** saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

**"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,**

DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."



**Eccl 3:1-4**

1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven —

2 A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.

4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.


**The Byrds (Bob Dylan)**

To everything (turn, turn, turn)

There is a season (turn, turn, turn)

And a time to every purpose, under heaven


A time to be born, a time to die

A time to plant, a time to reap

A time to kill, a time to heal

A time to laugh, a time to weep


To everything (turn, turn, turn)

There is a season (turn, turn, turn)

And a time to every purpose, under heaven


A time to build up, a time to break down

A time to dance, a time to mourn

A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
