Isaiah 3:16-4:1“Bottom-line Living” 

 The Nation has turned its back: Isaiah 1:4b

 

Three Characteristics of the Profiteer: 

1.            Arrogance

·        The result is arrogance: Isaiah 2:11

·        The Kingdom system is the opposite:  Mt. 19:30

·        Where do you keep your Treasure: Mt. 6:19-21

 

2.         Wealth

·        It is clear that the plunder of the poor is in clear view here: Isaiah 3:14

             These verses personify Jerusalem as a destitute woman: Lam. 1:4

 

3.            Desperation: 

·        Men were also desperate for a leader: Isaiah 3:6

·        Both genders will find that you can’t trust man over  God: Isaiah 2:22

 

  Conclusion:   When you stop trusting God, you trust in your self; life becomes about                                    present gains over losses.

 

·        The real road to the top involves loss not gain:  Mt. 19:29-30

·        The world is about short-term gain; bottom line thinking.

·        The Kingdom is long-term thinking; it is about forever!: Mark 8:36

·        What about you?  You have a choice.  Acts 2:37-38
