• Luke 14:26-27
  "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
   
• 1 John 2:15-17
  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
   
• Isaiah 59:1-2
  Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened,
  That it cannot save;
  Nor His ear heavy,
  That it cannot hear.
  But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
  And your sins have hidden His face from you,
  So that He will not hear.
  
   
• Hosea 4:11-12
  "Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.
  My people ask counsel from their wooden idols,
  And their staff informs them.
  For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray,
  And they have played the harlot against their God.
  
   
• Deuteronomy 30:17-18
  But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.
   
• Nehemiah 9:32-35
  “Now therefore, our God,
  The great, the mighty, and awesome God,
  Who keeps covenant and mercy:
  Do not let all the trouble seem small before You
  That has come upon us,
  Our kings and our princes,
  Our priests and our prophets,
  Our fathers and on all Your people,
  From the days of the kings of Assyria until this day. However You are just in all that has befallen us;
  For You have dealt faithfully,
  But we have done wickedly. Neither our kings nor our princes,
  Our priests nor our fathers,
  Have kept Your law,
  Nor heeded Your commandments and Your testimonies,
  With which You testified against them. For they have not served You in their kingdom,
  Or in the many good things that You gave them,
  Or in the large and rich land which You set before them;
  Nor did they turn from their wicked works.
   
• Amos 5:25-27
  "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
  In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
  You also carried Sikkuth your king
  And Chiun, your idols,
  The star of your gods,
  Which you made for yourselves.
  Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,"
  Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
