Avoid Scorn

What is Scorn?

• A feeling and expression of contempt or disdain for someone or something: 
• To reject (something) in a contemptuous way

Scorn is not just a matter or saying no or disapproving but the manner in which it is done

Avoid scorn in your environment!

Psalm 1:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

• Staying away from scorners (agents of scorn) is equally important as meditating on God’s Word day and night
• Never allow scorners in your working environment.
