Wrong Kinds Of Delight
1. Delight Of the Heart of Man (self-centered)
Eccl 2:8-9
8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well-the delights of the heart of man. 9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.
2. Delight In Airing One’s Own Opinions.
Prov 18:2
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding
but delights in airing his own opinions.
3. Delight In Mockery
Prov 1:22
22 “How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
4. Delighting In Folly
Prov 15:21
21 Folly delights a man who lacks judgment,
but a man of understanding keeps a straight course.
5. Delight In Lies
Ps 62:4
4 They fully intend to topple him
from his lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
6. Delight In False Humility
Col 2:18-19
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. 19 He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
7. Delight In Wrong
Prov 2:14-15
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.

2 Thess 2:12
12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth
but have delighted in wickedness.
Hos 7:3-4
3 “They delight the king with their wickedness,
the princes with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers,
burning like an oven
whose fire the baker need not stir
from the kneading of the dough till it rises.
9. Delight In War
Ps 68:30
30 Rebuke the beast among the reeds,
the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations.
Humbled, may it bring bars of silver.
Scatter the nations who delight in war.
