On the first, when the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be the war, and the morning breaks through turtle pride and flair, when the same diverts shall gather over all the other shore, and the roll is called, and yonder I'll be there.

incredible amount of love and have raised a lot of money to support her so if
you haven't donated and you still are interested let me know and I'll help you
get that information to do that but definitely I'm happy to see God's

In 194, we'll sing there on the first.
What a wonderful change in my life has been brought
Since Jesus came into my heart
I have died in my soul for which talk I have sought
Since Jesus came into my heart
since Jesus came into my heart.
What a joy, or my soul, like the sea billows grow,
since Jesus came into my heart.
I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
since Jesus came into my heart.
wash away since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart,
floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows flow, since Jesus came into my heart.
fast and short, since Jesus came into my heart. And no dark clouds of doubt am I that
clear as pure, since Jesus came into my heart. Since Jesus came into my heart.
Since Jesus came into my heart.
Since Jesus came into my heart
There's a light in the valley of death now for me
Since Jesus came into my heart
And the games of the sins in beyond I can see
Since Jesus came into my heart
I shall go there to dwell in that city I know
Since Jesus came into my heart
And I'm happy, so happy as onward I go
Since Jesus came into my heart
Since Jesus came into...
my heart. Hearts of joy or my soul like the sea billows roll.
Since Jesus has came into my heart. Amen. Good singing this morning. As the offering
plates are being passed, turn if you would to Matthew chapter 24. Matthew chapter number 24.
Matthew 24.
And Jesus went out and departed from the temple
and his disciples came to him
for to show him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them,
see not all these things,
barely I say unto you,
there shall not be left here,
one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the mount of olives,
the disciples came unto him privately saying,
tell us.
What shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them
Take heed that no man to see you for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many
And he shall hear of wars and rumors of wars
See that you be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet for
nation
Shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places
All these are the beginning of sorrows
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you and he shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake
And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another
and many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many,
and because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold,
but he that shall endure to the end the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in all the world for a witness unto all nations,
and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation
spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
Stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him understand.
Then let him, then let them, which be in Judea, flee into the mountains.
Let him, which is on the housetop, not come down to take anything out of his
house. Neither let him, which is in the field, return
back to take his clothes, and woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day, for then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christ and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders
in so much that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before.
If they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert.
Go not forth.
Behold, he is in the secret chambers.
Believe it not.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, And shineth even unto the west,
So shall also the coming of the son of man be.
For wheresoever the carcass is, There will the eagles be gathered together."
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet.
and they shall gather to gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now, learn the parable of the fig tree, when his branch is yet tender, and put it forth leaves.
He know that summer is nigh, so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels in heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking,
marrying, and giving in marriage under the day that Noah entered into the
ark. And knew it not, knew not until the flood came and took them all away. So
shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Then shall two be in the field, the
Two women shall be grinding in the mill.
The one shall be taken in the other left.
Watch, therefore, for you know not what hour
your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the good man of the house
had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up.
Therefore, be also ready for in such an hour
as you think not the Son of Man cometh.
who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord have made ruler over his household
to give them meat in due season, blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he cometh
shall find so doing, verily I say unto you that he shall make him ruler over all his
goods, but and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, my Lord delayeth his coming,
and to eat and drink with the drunken, the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cub him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites,
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Let's pray.
Gracious Lord, thankful for this church.
Thankful to have this time here, your work preached.
I pray that Lord, you give us tender hearts
and the message helps us to understand
your pastor, Oz, your spirit, and his authority of mind.
Jesus, let me ask you.
Man title my sermon is a biblical view on hate and love a biblical view on hate and
Love let's start reading in Matthew 24 verse 5
The Bible says for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many of course
Jesus is answering the question of his disciples of what are the signs of his coming and of the kingdom of God and Jesus is describing
the beginning of sorrows leading up to the events of the great tribulation.
So he says in verse number six,
and you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars.
See that you be not troubled for all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
For they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations, for my name's sake.
Then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many, and because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
That's a pretty chilling statement by the Lord Jesus Christ there, and of course this is applicable to the
beginning of sorrows and the time leading up to the Great Tribulation,
but this statement in verse number 12 is just true of life in general that when
iniquity abounds, when we live in a society that tolerates wickedness and evil, what you're going to see happen is a major
decrease in love. And today we are seeing love just disappearing from our world.
We're seeing love disappearing from our country.
And notice what it says in verse 10,
then shall many be offended and shall betray one another
and shall hate one another.
You know, we're just living in a time
that has a lot of ungodly hatred.
And here's the problem, over the last several decades, there's been this huge brainwashing
that teaches all hatred is bad, don't judge anyone, accept and tolerate all lifestyles.
And Christians today, by and large, have been brainwashing and thinking that there's no
such thing as a good type of hatred.
But here's the truth, is that according to the Bible, there are things that we should
hate, there are things that God hates, and there are also things that we should love.
And there are things that God loves.
And today it seems like people are just hating the wrong things
or loving the wrong things.
And every once in a while we need the Bible to just recalibrate us
to make sure that we have the right attitude towards this world,
towards life that God has.
Go to 2 Timothy chapter number three.
Second Timothy chapter number three, and of course, this idea of love everything is not possible.
It's a complete lie. It is impossible to love everything and everyone.
And ironically, when this messaging is pushed on a society and people believe this lie,
you actually end up living in a very dangerous, hateful, spiteful, vindictive, troublesome time of history and area.
That's what we're seeing today and the Bible describes this here in 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 1.
Notice this, this know also that in the last days,
perilous times shall come, meaning dangerous there.
Why? For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy.
So keep that in mind with what Jesus said,
how he said that because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax.
cold. Here we're seeing a society described by people just loving themselves, right? So they're
not really loving God. They're not loving God's word. They're not loving their fellow man. They're
not loving their brothers in Christ. They're loving themselves. And that leads to a whole
bunch of sins, right? Being covetous.
What would cause someone to desire someone else's money?
Someone else's house?
Someone else's wife?
Well, because they love themselves.
They don't love other people.
Boasters.
Proud.
Blasphemers.
Disobedient to parents.
Unthankful.
Unholy.
When you have a society filled with people like this,
you will live in a dangerous, perilous society.
Verse 3, without natural affection.
Now this could be applied to reprobates.
Because we as human beings, whether you are saved or unsaved or on fire for God or super backslidden,
we all just have natural affection for certain things.
You know, none of us want to see a child get hurt.
You know, our soul would just be crushed to see a child getting hurt or killed or seeing innocent people getting killed.
These are things that just anyone with natural affection would have a certain emotional visceral response to these things.
But we're living in a day today where many just have no natural affection.
Where people are not moved by things that should move them. When people have no emotion or no heart
towards wicked, evil crimes, you know, we're living in a very dangerous, perilous time right now.
Notice, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinence, fierce despisers of those that are good.
traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
I mean, the way the Bible describes this type of a society, this sounds like a very dangerous place.
Where everyone is just out for themselves, they don't have natural affection,
they don't care about you, they don't love you, they don't care about your kids,
they don't care about your parents, your grandparents, it's just a selfish, wicked society.
And, you know, there's been extreme versions like this in time past, like, for example,
the Soviet Union.
You know, this describes the Soviet Union, where people are ready to turn in their neighbors,
turn in their parents, turn in their children, their loved ones, to go get basically tortured
in the gulag for their own benefit.
That happened.
Right?
So, they had their criminal code and they got 5810s, it was called 10ers, and it was
And what is that? Just anything.
Just anything that the government wanted it to be.
You could get slapped with this anti-Soviet agitation.
And they just lived in a really wicked society
where people had no union. They had nothing in common.
They hated each other. They were looking out for themselves.
It was full of iniquity. Therefore, it was full of hatred.
Therefore, it was a dangerous place.
You know, unfortunately, I feel like America, in a lot of ways,
is becoming a very dangerous place today.
And it's become, and why is that?
Well, it's because iniquity seems to be
just a bounding in our country.
And it seems like for many generations and many decades,
pastors have been just getting weaker and weaker
by the generation and weaker and weaker
by the decade of their ministry,
where maybe they used to preach hard
back in the 70s and 80s,
and then they tone things down as the society changes.
And today, of course, you know, conservatives are scared of their own shadow and Christians are scared of their own shadow
and they let the wicked just triumph in our country and, you know, get away with everything it seems like.
And as a result, here we are, we're living in a very dangerous society.
What's an example of that? Well, you know, there's been a huge example of that this week where Charlie Kirk, this just political commentator,
this just average, pretty moderate, conservative, this guy was not a politician. He had no institutional power.
This is a guy who, this is all he did. He just went to college campuses and just spoke with college students, peacefully speaking with people.
And this guy was just murdered in cold blood.
live X and YouTube and television and today we see people on the left
celebrating this and acting like this is cool and dancing and cheering and
making videos and making posts celebrating this and you know unfortunately
I've even seen Christians I've even seen saved Christians saying that they were
happy that this happened that they have no remorse that they don't feel bad for
this guy because he was a Zionist
And I'm like, wow, we are living in a society where we're seeing love diminish.
We're seeing iniquity abounding in the love of many wax cold, where even Christians who are supposed to be the light of this world
can see a man be brutally murdered in front of his wife and children, by the way, who were there in person.
Could you imagine the traumatic event that these people had to witness in seeing their
father and a wife seeing her husband just gunned down and murdered in cold blood daylight.
And today we live in this such detached society where people are just losing their soul it
seems like to where their first reaction is good because he was a Zionist or on the left
good because they believe, of course, they believe every conservative is like some sort
of Nazi Hitler wicked person.
We're seeing love diminish and here's the truth, we need to love the things that God tells us to love
and we need to hate the things that God tells us to hate. Go to Romans chapter number 12, Romans
chapter number 12. Let's get a refresher here on what the Bible teaches. Number one, Godly love
hates evil. Godly love hates evil. Romans 12 verse 9.
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil.
Cleave to that which is good. So the Bible is giving us a command here not to have love that is
Simulated what does that mean? It's fake right? I like to play a game called flight simulator where it's like you're pretending to fly an
Airplane you're not actually flying the airplane. Okay, there's people today that claim they have love and they'll say love is love
And they'll say love everyone don't judge anything except and tolerate everything, but let me tell you something
It's a fake love
It's not a real love because in order to have a real love, you must abhor which means hate certain things.
If you're going to tell me that you hate nothing, what you've told me is you love nothing.
You love absolutely nothing. What is it that we should hate?
Abhor that which is evil.
And evil sometimes can mean wicked, demonic, evil in that sense, but most of the time it just means harm.
That's what evil means.
You know, if you love life, you're going to hate evil.
If you love your grandparents, you're going to hate cancer.
If you love life, you're going to hate drunk driving.
If you love life, you're going to hate murder.
These things just make common sense.
Notice, and you're supposed to cleave to that which is good.
So you cannot love anything without cleaving to that which is good and abhorring that which
is evil.
Oh, I love my wife so much.
Well, then you better hate adultery.
And if you go out and commit adultery on your wife,
you've just proved to everyone you do not love your wife.
You're a liar.
Okay?
Oh, I'm just so full of love.
That's why all these leftists are just getting super violent
and just killing peaceful, moderate conservatives.
Oh, but they're the party of love is what they'll say.
No, it's fake.
It's a fake love.
They do not love people, but here's the thing, in order to have real love,
sometimes you do have to hate you, all the time you have to hate that which is evil,
but sometimes that even includes hating certain people.
And today, you know, there's been a brainwashing that we as Christians should never hate anyone for any reason.
And look, I understand people have been brainwashed with this, you know, mentality,
but this morning we just need to look at what the Bible says
and actually consider what the words of God is saying
because it is true that in order to love, sometimes you have to hate even certain types of people.
Go to Psalm chapter number five, Psalm chapter number five.
But, you know, first thing I want to say about that is that
when we hate someone, when we hate the right type of person, when we hate someone that God tells us to hate.
We are not hating that person just for the sole purpose of hating that individual.
Even godly hatred is always
motivated by love of that which is pure and right and good. So for example, I hate pedophiles.
But do you know why I hate pedophiles? It's because I love children.
And so even when we have a godly hatred, that godly hatred should always ultimately be driven from a place of love, right?
So if we love God and we love His Word, then when God hates something, when God tells us to hate something, we are going to hate that too.
Why? Because we love God.
When he hates certain individuals, because of the way they victimize people and harm innocent people,
we love those innocent people, so we hate the people that God hates.
But don't get this idea that we're just hating just for the sake of hatred.
The truth is, is that any time we hate in a godly manner, it should ultimately be driven by love.
Psalm chapter 5, verse 6.
The Bible says,
thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing.
That's an old word that just means lying, deceit, falsehood.
The Lord will notice, abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
So sounds like God abhor someone today.
Sounds like God hates someone today.
What would be a type of person that God hates?
The bloody and deceitful man.
How about someone that would just murder someone's husband and father for absolutely no reason?
You think God hates that person because I do?
And you know what? I hate bloody and deceitful men.
I mean, just put yourself in a situation, you know, for example, we are allowed to use self-defense as Christians.
And I think we should use self-defense, and I think we should be ready to use self-defense.
And I am willing to use self-defense up to and including lethal force to defend myself, my family, my loved ones.
But let me tell you something, I don't want that to happen to me.
I don't want to ever have to take a human life.
I don't want, even in a case where it would be justified,
yes, I would do it, but I'm not like,
man, I really hope that happens to me someday.
You know, that's a sick attitude if you want to kill someone.
But if I can't imagine myself wanting to do that in a situation where it was justified
Just imagine what play what darkness you have to have in your heart to sit behind a rifle and
Look at a man who is a father who is a husband who is someone's son brother friend colleague and just take that life for no reason
Like imagine how wicked and evil and darken your heart has to be to do something like that. I cannot put myself there
I can't think of a situation that would drive me to that level of disgusting barbaric hatred,
but this is what we're tolerating in society today.
This is the society we're living in where people have that much hatred,
and then we see people backing it up and clapping and celebrating and saying that this is great.
But the Bible says that God abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
Flip a few pages, go to Psalm 11.
Psalm 11.
Look at Psalm 11 verse 5.
The Lord trieth the righteous.
But the wicked and him that loveth violence, his soul hateeth.
So Psalm 5, we see God abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
But you know what, not only does God just hate and despise and abhore violent people,
he also hates and despises the soul of people who even love violence.
That's taking it to another level.
So, you know, you got this wicked shooter, this wicked, just cold-blooded murderer,
and then you got all these leftists celebrating, and you know what?
God hates those people, too.
And Christians and conservatives today need to wake up and stop living in law-law land
where we pretend that just every single person in society can be reached.
Well, if, you know, if we just had a reasonable discussion with people who celebrate cold-blooded murder,
you know, maybe we'll be able to reach those people, no.
These people need to be destroyed.
These people need to be rooted out of our society.
And just like Proverbs talks about how the righteous king, he brings the wheel over the wicked,
you know, I just hope that some good of this situation can be that some of the Republicans,
maybe who do have a good heart, realizes that these wicked people just need to be destroyed.
and that they're not to be debated with,
they're not to be, well, let's find common ground.
You cannot find common ground with someone
that celebrates cold-blooded murder.
There is no common ground to be had there.
There is no sharing of values.
We cannot share society with people
that think that this stuff is okay,
because here's the truth.
If a super-moderate political commentator,
you know, I was never a Charlie Kirk follower,
I was never really a big fan,
but here's the thing, here's what I know about him,
he's pretty moderate.
He's a pretty just regular
average conservative guy,
but he was very effective.
He was reaching the young generation.
He seemed to just be a nice loving person.
Was he right about everything?
I highly doubt that.
In fact, no, not at all.
No one is.
But if a guy like him,
if people can support murdering a guy like him,
you know, what about us?
What about Christians that preach the whole counsel of God?
Do you really want to live in a society like that
where a large portion of society just thinks it's okay to murder in cold blood?
God says he hates these people. Look at verse number six.
For the righteous Lord, love at the righteous, his countenance doth behold the upright.
Sounds like God isn't really negotiating with them either.
He's just raining fire and snares and horrible tempest on people that love violence.
Because you have to become an extremely depraved, sick individual to love violence.
Look, the Bible says there's a time for peace, there's a time for war.
The Bible says that God is a man of war.
Killing is always wrong 100% of the time.
But violence, the word violence implies violation, right?
So someone was innocent.
Someone did not deserve the physical punishment
or the death that was meted out on them.
That's what violence is.
Here's what's not violence.
The death penalty is not violence.
Capital punishment is not violence.
In fact, you know what that is?
Love.
That's what that is.
Because the Bible says love is the fulfilling of the law.
See, murdering Charlie Kirk in cold blood,
that is pure wicked hatred.
But whoever this shooter is, I know they've caught the guy,
give him a fair trial, innocent until proven guilty,
no problem.
But if he's the guy, if he's the guilty,
you know what love would be?
Would be to hang him up or line him up against the wall
and shoot him in the back of the head publicly.
That would be love.
Because, you know, the loving thing to do is to have a society where there's not a bunch of psychopathic, cold-blooded murderers running around,
because we see iniquity abounding in our land.
Go to Hosea chapter number nine.
Daniel Hosea, Hosea chapter number nine.
You know, I've shown you multiple verses already that tells us, hey, to truly love, you have to abhor that which is evil.
God hates bloody and deceitful men.
God hates the soul of those that love violence.
Let's look at some more on this.
Hosea chapter 9 verse 15.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal.
For there, I hated them.
For their wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more.
All their princes are Revolters.
Here you have a very clear verse
that God is saying like,
I hate these people.
I will love them no more.
So it's not even like he hates them,
but there's a chance that they could get things right in the future.
No, he says, I hate them and I will love them no more.
What is this talking about?
Reprobates.
There are people on this earth and granted it is a small percentage of the world in general
But there are people in this earth that hate God so much that have rejected him in their heart so many times
That have just willfully chosen to hate God and in return God gives them up to a reprobate mind
And he says you know what I hate them and I will love them no more
There are people that God hates folks think about this. How about every single person in hell?
is hell a loving place, being burned and tortured for all of eternity in darkness, in fire, in agony,
never to drink a drop of water again, never to smile or enjoy life again.
They're burning and suffering in eternity because God hates them.
And will God ever love them again? No, he will not.
Guess what? There's people on this earth that also have reached that point spiritually.
where God hates them and their, their, their fate is just sealed.
They're doomed.
They're walking dead men today that God hates.
And you know what? We should hate those people too.
Go to Romans chapter one.
Romans chapter number one.
Romans 1, we'll start reading in verse 23, talking of people who rejected God, it says,
and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts
to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.
Who changed the truth of God into a lie?
and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen.
So notice these people, they have the truth of God, but they just chose to reject Him.
They chose to make the image of God into an image like a corruptible man. They chose to
reject what the Bible says about God and His judgments and His ideas,
and they just want to bring God down to their wicked human level.
and make a god in their own image or in the image of animals and beasts and four-footed things there.
And also, it says that they worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator.
Verse 26,
For this cause, God gave them up unto vile affections,
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
So notice, as a result of these people hating God,
God gives them up to the vile affections that are in their heart.
Riper Bates do, but he simply gave them over to do those things, those vile
affections and notice for even their women to change the natural use into
that which is against nature. So everyone has a natural state of being that God
creates us and how is that natural state of being? It's that men like women and
women like men.
And in order for a woman to desire a woman in that perverted way,
or for a man to burn in lust after another man,
something has to happen to that person spiritually.
No one is born like that.
That is a lie from the devil.
There's no such thing as someone born a homosexual.
It doesn't exist.
What happens is someone hates God first.
Someone despises the Lord first and His word,
then God turns them over to a reprimand mind to allow them to do these,
notice what it says, vile things.
Vile things.
Vile affections.
Think about, you know, for example, this idea of changing your gender,
which of course is not possible.
But you know what, the operation that is done to change your gender
is like one of the most vile things I've ever heard in my entire life.
And you know what? I'm not even saying you need to look this up, but just take my word for it.
It's the most horrific mutilation you could possibly imagine.
And it's like, how on earth could someone be brought to the point of harming themselves in such a horrific way?
There's only one way, folks. It's the punishment of God on that person.
They've been given over to a reprobate mind. They've been given over to vile affections because they hate God.
And isn't it funny that the reports coming out is that this shooter of Charlie Kirk was what? A faggot.
How do you know he's a faggot?
Well, when you're living with a tranny, let me explain something to you.
When you're a young man, and you're living with a tranny,
it's because you're a faggot, that's why.
Because no normal person wants to even look at a tranny
from 200 yards away, not to mention live with one,
not to mention sleep in the same bed as one.
So this shooter is a faggot. Are we surprised today? It's every single time folks and the left is so wicked and so evil
They think that you're so stupid that the that the narrative today by the left is oh, this was a conservative
This was a right-wing individual, you know
That's like saying that some new IFB fan went and shot and killed Pastor Anderson because they just love Pastor Anderson's preaching
And they love soul winning and they love Faithward Baptist Church
This is the retardation that people are being fed today
Oh man, this guy was just a super big Republican, conservative, and that's why he killed Charlie Kirk.
Huh? I mean, they really think that we're stupid, folks.
No, here's the reality, is that people are waking up to the fact that, you know what, there are some people we should hate today,
and you know a group that we should absolutely hate and abhor and despise? They're called Sodomites.
We should hate them. Why? Because the Bible says that they're filled with all unrighteousness.
In fact, it says they're being filled with all unrighteousness.
and every single day that a sodomite lives on this earth,
they are more wicked than they were the day before.
And if you actually loved people like Charlie Kirk,
if you actually loved his wife Erica,
and if you actually loved his children,
you know what?
You would want these people eradicated from society.
Spiritually?
No, physically.
Illegally, absolutely not. I only believe in lawful capital punishment.
I'm against all violence, 100%. I am against people taking the law into their own hands
and going out and hunting down even sodomites, even the most wicked people.
We should never ever do that. I decry that. I denounce that 100%.
But here's what I am for. I am for the government passing a law
that says that it is illegal. In fact, it is a capital crime to be a sodomite.
That would be the loving thing to do in our society.
That would get rid of school shootings or at least the vast majority of them and today people are so stupid
You know many conservatives are so stupid where they're debating this idea of should we ban transgenders from having guns?
Hey idiots, let's just ban the transgenders from living. How about that? It's not the guns
There's no issue with guns. I've carried a gun virtually every day of my life since I could have legally
And it's never jumped out of the holster and done anything to anyone
It's never harmed me, it's never harmed my children, it's never harmed anyone else.
You know what? Because guns don't kill people, wicked people kill people.
That's the truth.
And it's so funny, like, all these school shootings, people are not realizing the fact
that what is the common denominator behind someone
that would murder innocent children or innocent individuals, it's a reprobate mind.
That's the common denominator.
Oh, well, ban assault rifles. This guy used a hunting rifle.
It doesn't matter what kind of weapon it is.
People could use knives.
People could drive through crowds with their vehicle.
People could use poison.
People could use bombs.
The problem is wicked reprobate people.
That's the problem.
And you know what?
A really loving society would hate and despise
and detest these evil people.
We need to stop acting like we could coexist with people
that are celebrating the cold-blooded murder
of an individual in front of his wife and children.
You know what?
I hate those people.
I hate them.
Go to Jeremiah, or I'm sorry, I'll just read for you, Jeremiah 6.30.
The Bible says,
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.
So the Bible defines what the word reprobate means.
It's someone that God has rejected.
Keep reading in Romans 1 where it says in verse number 27,
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burn in their lust one toward another,
men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meat.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, notice God gave them over to a reprobate mind
to do those things which are not convenient.
So these are the types of people that God hates today.
Go to Psalm 139.
Psalm 139.
Of course, I'm sure you've read the whole chapter of Romans 1 before.
How the Bible describes sodomites as people who are being filled with all unrighteousness.
Unmerciful, they're implacable.
One of the descriptors of them is that they are haters of God.
And what you have to understand about that is that even your average unsaved person,
they do not hate God, folks.
Your average Catholic does not hate God.
Your average, you know, Joe American in this country does not hate God, even if he is confused on the Gospel,
even if he hasn't had much exposure to church, even if he just doesn't care or think about religion that much,
it is very few people that hate God. Those are reprobates.
How should we feel towards those individuals?
Psalm 139 verse 19,
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God.
Depart from me, therefore, ye bloody men,
For they speak against thee wickedly,
And thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee!
And I am not aggrieved with those that rise up against the I hate them with perfect hatred.
I count them mine enemies.
Notice that these people are not just our personal enemies, but they are in fact the
enemies of God.
And of course, Jesus told us to love our enemies and amen to that.
You know, it's so funny when people try to throw Bible verses in our face as if we're not going to agree with it.
Hey, idiot, we believe the whole Bible.
We love all of it.
I love Leviticus and I love the Gospel of Matthew.
I love, love thy neighbor as thyself.
I love, love your enemies.
I also love, do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee.
You know what? We should hate people that hate God. And yes, it is a sin to not hate people that God hates.
It is a sin to love everybody because you're breaking God's commandment.
That we are to hate people that God hates. And here's what you're really doing.
Here's the spirit of the law that you're violating. You're violating the spirit of love is what you're doing.
Because again, anytime we hate someone, what is that driven by ultimately?
It's driven by our love for something else.
If we hate someone that is the enemy of God,
why would we hate them?
Because of our love for God.
If we hate reprobates that harm and kill
and murder innocent people
and curse their mother and father
and molest children,
why do we hate them?
Because we love those other people.
We love those individuals.
Why do we hate drunk driving?
Because we love people living and being alive.
Does this make sense?
It's not that we just hate people for the sake of hatred.
All of our hatred should ultimately be motivated by love.
And this is a lie from the pit of hell that we are a hate group.
This is a lie from the pit of hell that we are hateful people.
Hey, you know what? I'm okay with the world thinking that because the world has no clue what they're talking about.
The world today is absolutely stupid and mindless.
They don't know the Bible. They're not saved. They don't have the Spirit of God.
Whatever. They're going to call us all sorts of names.
They call Charlie Kirk all those same things, even though he's super moderate.
But you know what? Among Christians,
If you actually know me, and I know you guys, and we know other pastors in this movement that are accused of being hateful people,
you know what? The people in the new IFB are loving people.
They're the most loving people I've ever met.
And you know what? All these liberals that pretend like they love everyone, they are the most hateful people that exist.
The most hateful, vindictive, evil, often times, reprobate people are on the left.
Whereas those who actually hate the right type of people,
they do so from a motivation of love.
And so this is the love group here.
This is the love book right here.
Love is the fulfilling of the law.
I mean, love is the end all be all.
Charity is the end of the commandment.
Love is really what it's all about, folks.
But guess what?
Righteous love, godly love, hates the right types of things.
Notice what he says, search me, O God, in verse 23, search me, O God, and know my heart.
Try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me
and lead me in the way everlasting.
He's saying, hey, God, search my heart.
I do hate these people.
He says, I hate them with a perfect hatred.
Meaning, he just completely, his whole entire soul and being, hates these people, completely.
And he says, search me, oh God, see if there's any way, wicked way in me.
And of course, we know there's not.
This is the Word of God.
This is the inspired Word of God here.
And this prayer is not just someone getting in the flesh and getting crazy with their
prayer life.
This is the Word of God.
This is the truth.
We should hate people like that.
There's punishment for not doing so.
2 Chronicles chapter 19, 2 Chronicles chapter 19 verse 2, the Bible says in
Jehu, the son of Heneini, the seer went out to meet him and said to King
Jehoshaphat, shouldest thou help the ungodly?
and love them that hate the Lord?
Notice, therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.
So when God looks down from heaven and he sees people
helping, assisting, and loving those that hate God,
God looks down and says, there's wrath upon you now.
So it actually could affect our lives and our walk with God
by hating the wrong type of people or by loving the wrong type of people.
People that hate God, we should hate, and if you do not do so, God's wrath can be upon you.
And that should be a sobering thought.
Go to Leviticus chapter number 20, Leviticus chapter number 20.
And I want to show you a couple of groups of people that the Bible specifically says that God hates.
God is going to tell us at the end of the scripture that I'm about to read to you that God hates these people.
We just read that if we love those who God hates, that God's wrath will be upon us.
Look at what the Bible says in verse 13, Leviticus 2013.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.
They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
Amen to that verse.
Hey, let's quit arguing about banning guns from trannies
and let's start legislating this into law right here.
Leviticus 2013.
Verse 14,
And if a man take a wife and a mother, it is wickedness,
they shall be burnt with fire,
both he and they,
that there be no wickedness among you.
15,
If a man lie with a beast,
he shall surely be put to death,
and he shall slay the beast.
And if a woman approach unto a beast and lie down there too, thou shalt kill the woman and the beast.
They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
So God's just explaining here the most disgusting things that if you're reading the Bible for the first time,
some of this stuff is so shocking because you're like, wow, God addresses this type of stuff?
Like this stuff is going on? This stuff even exists in society?
God has laws about this? Yeah, he does because unfortunately, there's sick people that do these things.
Taking a mom and her daughter, a woman lying down to a beast,
a man with a beast, with an animal, a man with another man.
And by the way, they're both equally disgusting.
I mean, they're both just the most abominable thing I can think of.
A man with a man, a woman with a woman.
You know what?
You're just as filthy as an individual with an animal.
And no, you're not deserving of any respect or tolerance or adulation in our society.
You should be met with scorn and judgment and hatred, righteous hatred is what you should
be met with.
In fact, you should be met with the death penalty, is what the Bible says.
Notice verse 22,
You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my judgments and do them.
Notice that the land wither I bring you to dwell therein, spew you not out.
So God can curse a nation, can curse a land for not following these commandments.
Verse 23,
And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you,
for they committed all these things. Notice, and therefore I abhorred them.
You know, I'd like to see people try to get out of this doctrine that God loves everyone.
How can you in the world, how in the world can you say that God loves everyone where
he's like saying, hey, there's sodomites, there's incest.
You better make sure you, you know, execute God's law or the land's gonna spoo you out
because the people before you, they did all this disgusting stuff and I hated them.
I abhorred them.
God hates the same people that do these wicked things today in 2025.
The Bible says, I am the Lord, I change not.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
God's judgments do not change.
He feels the exact same way about them today.
And yes, Jesus died on the cross, and yes,
there are cardinal ordinances, there are holy days,
there are feasts, there are cardinal washings
that were done away at the time of Reformation.
But you know what did not stop
by Jesus dying on the cross?
Moral law and criminal law.
And you know what? Murder did not become okay because Jesus died on the cross.
And prostituting your daughter to be a whore did not suddenly be okay because Jesus died on the cross.
You know what? Being a filthy faggot does not become okay because Jesus died on the cross.
These people need to be dealt with according to the proper channels.
Now if you would...
Go to Titus chapter number three, Titus chapter number three.
So, you know, that's correcting one mindset that's out there today
where many people have been brainwashing the thinking,
love everyone, love everything, tolerate everyone, tolerate everything.
That is not biblical.
But on the other hand, I've seen, unfortunately, where it seems like some Christians have gone too far in the direction of hatred,
where they're hating the wrong things, and they just have a hateful spirit.
And they're just always vitriolic and angry and full of hatred.
You know what's funny? It's like, I preach sermons like this, and people make clips and make me out to be Hitler and some horrible wicked person.
But like, those of you who've ever dealt with me, I hope you don't think I'm a hateful guy.
In fact, even when I went viral, you know, this year, all my enemies were like,
he's so nice, he's so friendly, he's so helpful,
but he's also the devil because of what he believes, right?
So here's the thing, I know you, you know me, we know other Christians,
people who believe the first part of this sermon are not hateful people,
they're loving people.
Why? Number two, our lives should be mainly focused on love.
Our lives should be mainly focused on love.
And like I said, that's a very small population that are reprobates.
It's a very small number of people in this world that I hate.
I love the vast majority of the individuals in this world.
I love people who are sinners, who are wicked, who are not saved.
I love my brothers in Christ.
I love the average person in this world.
Also, I don't want my whole life to be obsessed with hatred.
I would rather focus on things that I am for and things that I love and things that God loves rather than my whole life being obsessed with things that I hate.
You know, sometimes you see these people, they just spend a little too much time online and it's usually like the single guys where they just become obsessed with one thing.
It's just like the Jews, the Jews, the Jews, the Jews.
consists of, is like hating Jews, you know, that's not the right attitude where your whole life is just obsessed with hating one thing.
Our life should be centered around and focused around love. And what this world needs today,
yes, it needs us to hate the right things, but where does that hatred come from again?
It comes from love. Here's what our world needs today, what our church needs, what Baptists need,
what Christians need today. What we need is more real love.
not not dissimulated love, not fake love that the left parrots with mindless
platitudes, not your liberal pastor that's gonna get up and lie to you about the
Word of God and tell you that that's loving, what we need is actual true
godly love. That is what we need today in our world. Look at Titus chapter 3.
Titus chapter 3, look at verse 3,
for we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures,
living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
You know, don't get prideful
because you're serving God now.
Don't think that you've somehow arrived
and you're somehow just the best person who's ever lived
because you've repented of some of your sins
and you've come a long way from who you used to be.
You know, every once in a while you should remember
who we were before we were saved.
And let me tell you what you were like before you were saved.
You were stupid is what you were.
And same as me.
That's why the Bible says we were sometimes foolish.
I don't want to trade brains with the person I was
before I got saved.
I don't want to go back to that level of understanding.
But I shouldn't sit here and despise people
who are not yet saved,
who have not yet grown in the Lord
and just hate people for being foolish
because I've been foolish once too.
How about this? Disobedient.
Right? Hey, people are out there living super wicked lives because they're not saved.
They need to get saved and they need to get in church and they need to read their Bible
and they need to get rebuked from the love of God and then they'll start to grow.
But are we gonna hate people for being disobedient when they're not saved? What else can they do?
They're just walking in the flesh. They've got no other option. They can't walk in the spirit. They're not yet saved.
It's not surprising that they're walking that way. Deceived.
Yeah, of course these people are walking according to the course of this world and is being run by the god of this world
Which is the devil the little g god of this world is the devil and so they're deceived. They're serving divers lust and pleasures
Okay, they're unsaved. What are they doing? They're probably living a really wicked life
They're probably into drugs and alcohol. They're probably into fornication and adultery because this is just the way that the unsaved world lives.
But here's the truth, depending on when you got saved in life and hopefully you got saved young and started serving God young and you could
miss a lot of this in your life.
But you know, some of you probably got saved when you were a lot older and this describes your former life to a T.
Deceived, foolish, disobedient.
Serving divers, lesbians and pleasures, living in malice and envy, notice hateful and hating one another.
This is the description of the world, folks.
This is the description of the unsaved,
is that they're just living in a constant state of malice and envy,
and just being hateful and hating one another.
Who are the hateful people today?
Oh, there's no love like Christian love, or there's no hate like Christian love.
Yeah, Christians do love.
We actually are the loving people of this world.
You know who is just living in hatred and hating one another?
The unsaved is.
And here's what shameful is when there are Christians that are still living this life.
It is shameful and it is embarrassing when Christians never got past this part of how they were before they were saved in the flesh.
And they're still just living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
They're just in a constant state of malicious hatred and envy and strife, and that's wicked, folks.
And our default mode as Christians, our default should always be love.
That should be our default, you know when we go out soul winning
Our default is to love that person.
Our default is to want that person to get saved.
And even if a guy comes out and looks a little faggoty,
and even if a woman comes out and looks a little bit like a dyke,
you know, I don't just walk away from that door
and just make assumptions about them.
If they tell me that they're a faggot, okay, that's one thing.
But you know what?
I'm going to give people the benefit of the doubt
because our default should be love.
You know, I've preached the gospel before
to people who look really feminine,
talk really feminine.
but they were just effeminate.
They weren't fags.
And I've had my soul-winning partner kind of be like,
oh, I would have walked away.
I can't believe you sit there and talk to them.
It's like, hey, Moron, why don't you stop being so hateful?
Yeah, if he's a reprimand, then you can hate him.
But you know what?
Until I know that for a fact, then I love this person.
And I want this person to be saved.
And I don't want to be this person that just
lives in a constant state of malice, envy, and hatred.
It's sad to see Christians living like this.
It is not mature.
Go to Matthew 22, Matthew chapter number 22.
Our default mode should be love.
Can love force us to hate sometimes? Absolutely.
But where should that always be coming from? Love.
Matthew 22 verse 36, Master.
Which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
What should we be doing with our lives?
What should our lives be characterized by, consumed by, obsessed with, loving God?
Not sitting here just being these wicked, hateful people consumed with hatred, hating one another,
hating brothers and sisters in Christ, hating average Joes in this world.
No, it should be consumed with loving God, with all of our soul, with all of our heart, with all of our mind.
Notice verse 39 in the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Look, if you love God, you will love your neighbor.
If you love God, you will love people.
If you love God, you will love the saved and you will love the lost.
And you know, that phrasing is very important.
To love your neighbor,
Because remember where we started this sermon, because iniquity abounds, the love of many waxes cold.
Here is a proof that we are living in a society where love is just dropping off.
Where people are just losing love and love is just disappearing from our society.
Is that a lot of people don't even talk to their neighbors.
That's kind of sad.
You know, it's kind of sad that we live in a society where we go to work, we go to a
coffee shop, we pass someone in the grocery store, we're next to someone in line, and
I just noticed this is just people just don't talk to each other anymore.
And like here's the thing, I do talk to my neighbors,
but I'll be honest, there's been times
where I've lived in places where I was not doing that
and I should have.
I should have been a better Christian and done that.
But right now, because I'm seeing just love disappearing,
I'm like trying to make an effort in my life
to just talk to people more.
And just like in line, at a coffee shop, say hi, say bye, say, hey, thanks guys, see you next time.
Like just little things like that, it's not really a high bar of righteousness, okay?
What would be great is if we preached the gospel to our neighbor
and preached the gospel to people in line
and preached the gospel to people at the gas station, you know, that's what we should be doing.
But it's like, people aren't just not doing that, people are just not talking to anyone.
That's scary.
I'm not going to ask for a raise of hands of like, who knows their neighbor's name?
You know, that's kind of sad.
It's kind of sad that we live in a society where we just walk past each other.
We don't look at each other.
And why is that?
It's because iniquity is a bounding in our society.
And living in a wicked society, what it does is it lowers trust.
We live in a low trust society because we see so many wicked people doing super wicked
things and it being tolerated.
And, oh, yeah, here's all these people celebrating the murder of an innocent person.
And we think in our mind, is that what my neighbor's like?
Is that what this person in line is like?
You know, we kind of just want to assume that of people because
iniquity bounds. This is just what the Bible says.
Iniquity bounds, love goes down.
How do we combat that? We ourselves need to bring more love into this world.
We are the light. We are that light shining on a hill.
You know, it's got to come from God's people to bring back love to our community.
You know, the most loving communities that you'll find are the ones that are just following God's commandments the most,
that are exalting the Word of God, people that are going to church, they're the most loving people.
People that are soul winners, they're the most loving people.
People that stand on every word of God, they're the most loving people.
and stop letting the darkness overcome us.
Notice verse 40, on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
What is this all about right here?
What is this all about?
It's all about loving God and loving your neighbor.
That's what Christianity is about, folks.
You know, Solomon, he lived a life where he was very rich.
He gave himself all of his heart's desires.
He made him great works, right?
He built all these great businesses,
all these great buildings.
He had all the animals.
He had all the women.
He had all the riches.
He had all the food.
He had everything he could possibly desire.
And at the end of it, he just said,
hey, it's all vanity under the sun.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter.
Fear God and keep His commandments
for this is the whole duty of man.
What does it come down to it comes down to loving God and loving your neighbor?
That's what it's all about folks and we should not be people that are just obsessed and consumed with hatred
In fact, we should be obsessed and consumed with love. That's the default now
Will that godly love force us to hate people you better believe it is and at the end of the day
Why because it's being motivated by love for God and love for our neighbor go to Romans 13
Romans chapter number 13
Romans chapter 13, look at verse 8.
So any commandment in God's word, what is the law?
It's the commandment of God oftentimes.
Sometimes it could be referring to the Old Testament.
Sometimes it could be referring to the whole Bible.
But how is the law fulfilled? It's fulfilled through love.
So any time God's commandments are followed, that's love.
Any time God's judgments are carried out, that's love.
That is love.
Look at verse 9 for this.
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet.
If there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
When we sin, what is the problem here is that we are lacking love.
If someone goes and commits adultery, they were not loving their brother to go do that wicked crime against him.
When we are selfish and only thinking of ourselves, boy, we are loving ourselves, but where are we lacking love for other people?
When we skip church, what are we doing? We're not considering one another to provoke unto love and to good works.
Anytime we break the commandments, you want to know where it broke down, it broke down at the point of love.
And when we love, we're fulfilling God's commandments.
And if you're not fulfilling God's commandments,
don't tell me that it's love.
Don't tell me love is love. No, no, no.
If it's not fulfilling God's commandments, it is not loving.
Look at verse number 10,
Love worketh no ill to his neighbor.
Therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
You know, if you underline your Bible,
that's a good sentence to underline right there.
Love is the fulfilling of the law.
Do not let the world try to browbeat you
and to make you ashamed and to make you feel small
and to make you feel like you're in a hate group,
you're in a hate cult.
No, no, no, we preach the law of God.
You better believe we preach the law of God.
But the Bible says that love is the fulfilling of the law.
So when we preach Leviticus 2013, we're preaching love.
When we're preaching that adulterers should be stoned, we're preaching love.
Why?
Because living in a society where people could just cheat on each other's spouse and nothing
happens and all these horrific stories in divorce court and people losing all their money and
people's kids growing up and broken home, you know, that's the real hateful thing to do is to
allow society like that.
You know the loving thing to do is to protect marriage.
and to protect victims of crime.
That's the loving thing.
People say that the death penalty is hateful.
Lots of Christians believe that the death penalty is wrong.
Folks, the death penalty is love.
Why?
Because love is the fulfilling of the law.
Rebuke is love.
Hard preaching is love.
I wish a lot of Christians would understand that today.
Ugh, you're preaching against me?
Yeah, because I love you.
Dum dum.
It's like, good night.
The preacher who doesn't love you is the one who will
never rebuke you.
The preacher who doesn't love you, all he wants is money.
All he does is love himself, and so he'll never preach anything that'll step on your toes
because he wants to keep you nice and happy there.
But you know what? I'm willing to love you to tell you things you don't want to hear.
And I'm willing to be the one person in your life that'll tell you things that no one else will tell you.
And your friends will be too scared to, and your family will be too scared to.
But you know what? I'm willing to sacrifice you liking me for me loving you.
That's the attitude that we should have as Christians.
What's an example of this of just seeing how love is diminishing from our society?
You know, another thing that happened last week is there was a
Murder that was also going viral of a woman named Irina. I can't remember her last name, but she's a Ukrainian girl
and she was a war refugee.
She came to the United States and she didn't have a car.
She didn't have a driver's license.
She worked her shift at a pizza place.
She got inside.
It was either a bus or a train,
some sort of public transit and she just sat down.
She was playing on her phone
and this black guy stood up behind her,
pulled open a knife and just slid her throat
and just killed her for absolutely no reason.
And it's like, that is a hateful society that we're living in.
And here's one of the worst things about it.
When this happened, there's all these individuals
sitting around her.
There's all these people on the bus.
And they just look at her in utter apathy.
Not caring whatsoever. They see her getting killed. No one attacks this guy. No one turns this guy into
you know mop bucket contents like he should have been.
No one takes care of business and once she's bleeding out on the floor not a soul stands up to help her for minutes and minutes.
In fact, I saw a video of one of the black ladies walked up and started just filming her and taking pictures of her.
And it's like, why does this happen is because we're living in a very hateful, dark, wicked time.
And this is why the Bible says that in the last days, perilous times shall come.
Because what a dangerous society we're living in where some innocent woman could just get her throat slit
and people are just not going to help, not going to care, not going to do anything about it.
And I'm sure these people will tell you how loving they are.
I'm sure these Democrat these these highly African American Democrat cities will sit there in virtue signal about how loving they are
But oh, you know, a white woman gets her throat slit. We're just gonna sit here and videotape it. It's insanity folks
Look, I don't care what color you are
You see someone get brutally injured and you have the ability to help them you should help them
You know, and we have self-defense in our country, thank God, and you know, I see someone doing that to another individual,
individual, I will kill that person. Not because I want to, but because we need to protect innocent people.
That's the attitude that we should have.
It's crazy. People just watching her die, looking away indifferently. Go to Luke chapter number 10, Luke chapter number 10.
Oh, killing's always wrong. No, no, no. Not killing that guy would be hateful.
That guy needs to be put down like an animal because he is one.
Luke chapter number 10
Look at verse 30
In Jesus answering said a certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho
And fell among thieves which stripped him of his raiment and wounded him and departed
Leaving him half dead. So this man is just an innocent victim of a violent crime. He gets taken he gets snatched up
He gets beaten he gets robbed and he's half dead
Verse 31, and by chance, there came down a certain priest that way,
and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
So you got a priest.
who obviously, probably based on how Jesus describes
the religious elite of this day, they're prideful,
they think that they're so wonderful,
but in reality, they're giving people all these heavy burdens to bear,
but they're not lifting them with one of their fingers.
And so you got this priest who's this religious elite.
He's supposed to be an example.
He's supposed to be filled with love,
but the priest sees this person and he just,
oh, I'm just going to walk on the other side.
I'm just going to ignore this actual injustice.
thrown around all over the place in America today.
But here's an actual injustice that's being done.
Yeah, Christians should care about real injustices being done.
We should do something about that.
Look, 32.
And likewise, a Levite, when he was at the place,
came and looked on him and passed by on the other side.
So what is human nature like?
The majority of people are not loving.
The majority of people just don't care.
The majority of people are not going to take any time out of their day
to see a man who's half dead, who's been robbed, who's been beaten.
They see that, they're just going to walk on the other side.
That's why when you have a society like this, it's very dangerous.
Very dangerous society.
Notice verse 33, but a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed,
came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast
and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence and gave them to the host.
And said unto him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more.
When I come again, I will repay thee.
Think about the amount of love this is taking.
He stops whatever he's doing.
He goes and he helps this individual.
It's not fun helping people that are in these situations.
For example, I had two situations that happened in my life
that kind of gave me a wake-up call.
Like, man, I need to learn some first aid.
I need to learn some trauma medicine
because when I have these situations happen to me,
I don't want to be the guy that just can't do anything.
One time I was at work.
and I see a bicycle laid down in front of a semi-truck
and a woman on the floor
and I turn on my emergency lights at that time,
got out of my vehicle,
and this woman was just covered in blood.
Like you couldn't even see the color of her skin.
She was so covered in blood.
She was in total shock
and I was just like a very young man at this time
and I really did not know what to do.
And I felt kind of ashamed at that.
I could call, I got EMS there,
but I didn't really know what to do.
Another time, there's a really bad accident.
where a man was injured in a vehicle and I was the first person there, no emergency responders were there.
And I was, again, I just did not have the skills to help this person.
And those two things happened to me within like a week and I was like, okay, I'm done with this.
And I went and took classes and I bought gear and, you know, did all these things
so that I could at least try my best if something happens like this to be able to help people.
You know, you as men, you should be able to do these things
because we live in a hateful world where many people are not going to care.
are not going to do anything.
It's like it's up to you to do those type of things.
It's up to you to protect your family.
You know, I don't...
I mean, you think that all the police are just super
high-speed trained people nowadays?
You know, I don't trust them to help if a situation
happens.
You know, we need to be ready to do those things as
Christians.
Why?
Because we should be loving other people.
We should see these situations and actually want
to help.
Notice verse 36.
And he said, he that showed mercy on him, then said, Jesus unto him, go and do thou likewise.
So you know, the loving thing to do is when someone needs help and it's in the power of your hand to do it, is to help that person.
That's loving your neighbor as yourself.
And of course, the Bible says, hey.
Of course, we're, let us do good unto all men,
especially those that are of the household of faith.
Of course, my priority is helping God's people and assisting God's people,
but that doesn't mean it stops there.
We still should help other people too.
We still should love those in the world as well.
You know what is not loving is seeing those, those people,
seeing this woman bleeding out, doing nothing, videotaping it.
You know what's not loving is a father getting murdered on camera,
Children having to grow up without a father,
just this horrific, tragic event,
and then people celebrating it,
and even Christians celebrating it.
Here's some quotes I saw from Christians
this week regarding the cold-blooded murder
of an innocent father.
I'm not going to boo-hoo over a guy getting shot,
who was out there with a huge platform
and was using it to cheerlead for Zionists
that literally kill innocent people every day.
Not sad.
That's coming from a Christian.
So is this really the mentality that we want to have now?
So because someone's wrong on the doctrine of Israel,
because someone's wrong on Zionism and someone supports Israel,
then we're just not going to boo-hoo.
In fact, it's not even sad.
It's just not even sad at all.
It's not even sad that a father was shot and murdered in front of his children, in front
of his wife, in front of innocent people that kids are going to grow up without a dad, that
a young wife is going to live her life without her husband.
It's not even sad.
Let me tell you, that person needs to repent.
That person needs to get their heart right with God, and I refuse to go silent, allowing
this cancerous, hateful mentality to enter amongst God's people.
I will not go silent.
Oh, you read a quote, they're going to know who you're talking about.
I don't care.
That attitude will not be tolerated here.
We are not going to be hateful in wicked, wrong ways that God would not approve of.
I mean, are you serious?
You just think that, okay, so if someone disagrees with us on Zionism, that person can just be
shot and murdered?
Okay, man, I really hope I'm not wrong about anything, because if I'm wrong about something,
I guess I could just be shot and murdered in front of my kids, too, right?
You wouldn't even care.
Oh, because maybe I use my platform
and I have some influence over some people
and I say something wrong.
So, you know, just go ahead and just kill me then.
Just shoot and murder me.
What the hell is wrong with you?
It's disgusting.
It's sickening.
You know, the Bible says,
weep with those that weep.
I'll be honest with you,
I've done a lot of weeping the last couple of weeks.
And you know what, if you have not found it in your heart with all the stuff going on recently,
to have some weeping, Jesus wept the Bible says, you know, you need to check yourself.
Maybe you need to turn off your phone and you just need some more time with the Holy Spirit of God
and the words of God in front of you and pray to the Lord.
There's something wrong with your heart when you're not even sad when something like this happens.
There's something seriously wrong with you. Here's another quote I saw from a Christian.
I first heard about Charlie Kirk getting shot while I was at work.
My initial gut reaction was good.
One less genocidal warmonger.
People liking this post, people sharing this post.
Oh yeah, someone brutally murdered.
My first reaction is just good.
That is disgusting, folks.
That, I mean, I don't see anyone in here doing anything like that over the last couple of weeks.
But I'm telling you, if I ever see someone doing that kind of stuff, you're going to get rebuked hard.
Because that's evil. That's wicked. It should not be tolerated.
I can't believe that we are living in such a hateful day where I even have to explain to God's people
that rejoicing over the death of a random, innocent person is evil and wicked.
And not only that, folks. You know, I don't even think this was just some random person.
I believe this was our brother in Christ.
And let me tell you something, not everyone is exactly like us.
And just because people disagree with us on the rapture, or on Zionism,
or on other tertiary, secondary doctors,
doctrines does not mean I suddenly get licensed to hate them.
Does not mean I suddenly rejoice if they're murdered or think good. That's great
Look, I don't care if you're the biggest Zionist on planet earth
I don't care if your room is painted wall-to-wall with Israel flags. If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, I love you
And look, I love you enough to rebuke your wrong doctrine
Absolutely, but you know what the old IFB that preached the right gospel. I love those people. I've reached out to them
I've tried to get them to preach here. It's probably not gonna happen, but hey, I love them
When I see soul winners out from these churches,
maybe they're not as great as you guys.
Maybe they're not as thorough as you guys.
Maybe they're not doing as much soul winning as we are.
But, you know, I still love those people.
Don't hate your brothers in Christ.
Don't even hate just random Joe blows.
Don't even hate wicked people that are not reprobates.
It's insane.
I believe this guy was likely saved.
Could I be wrong? Sure.
But here's a quote that was sent to me.
Sounds saved me.
Charlie Kirk said this.
The better way to teach the gospel is this, here's the 10 commandments.
How many of these are you violating?
Oh, you deserve hell.
And so I realized the stakes.
In fifth grade, I realized I'm a sinner.
I'm selfish. I'm broken.
And only thanks to Jesus' perfect sacrifice,
coming and living a perfect life that I get something that I do not earn,
but has been given to me,
the free gift of eternal life.
I mean, folks.
I mean, not everyone is listening to Pastor Anderson every week of their life.
Not everyone has got up and prepared sermons explaining salvation, but this is pretty good.
If someone told me this at the door, I would believe this person saved.
I believe that Charlie Kirk was saved.
And you know what? The same devil that wanted Cain to kill Abel,
the same devil that wanted Herod to extinguish all the babies under two years old,
to kill Jesus Christ,
the same devil that indwelt Judas to betray our Lord and Savior
is the same exact devil that we wrestle with today.
And you know, a guy like him who has a lot of influence,
a guy like him who likely could have been president of the United States someday,
you know, sounds like the devil doesn't want a saved man of God
becoming president of the United States.
And then we have idiots, complete imbecilic morons.
You know, being saved does not necessarily make you wise.
There's some imbecilic, stupid, retarded saved people out there
that see this and say, my first reaction is good.
Well, you're wicked then. You're evil then. You need to repent then.
Oh, my first gut reaction is that's great.
Oh, I'm not going to go boo-hoo. Oh, it's not even sad.
You know what? Woe unto you. Woe unto you.
You know what, I want none of that behavior in my life.
I want to be around no person that is that hateful and evil.
Just stay away from me.
Stay away from our church if you're like that.
You know, I think this person was a brother in Christ, but you know what, even if he was
unsaved, even if he was a wicked person that's not a reprobate, I would still be mourning
with his wife.
I would still be mourning with his kids.
I would still be sad.
And, you know, to sit here and rejoice over a saved brother in Christ, I'm just like,
what is happening to our world?
And this is why, by the way, the Tribulation is going to be such a horrific, terrible, tragic time,
is because you're going to have fathers turning in their children,
children turning in their parents, people turning on each other.
Just so much hatred is going to be filled in our world.
And so as a result, we're going to live in dangerous times.
You know, I don't want to go through those type of times with people that are so evil and hateful.
You know, if during the good times, you're already so screwed up in the head,
it's like, well, stay away from me during the Tribulation, please.
Go to Luke chapter number nine Luke chapter number nine
Luke chapter nine verse 49 and John answered and said master
We saw one casting out devils in thy name and we forbade him because he followed not with us
And Jesus said unto him forbid him not for he that is not against us is for us
Realize that not everyone is going to be like us, folks.
You know what?
I hope that we reach people and make people like us,
because I believe that we believe the right doctrines.
I believe we have the right attitude about things.
I believe we have the right mentality towards soul winning,
towards fulfilling the Great Commission.
You know what?
I want to make people like us,
but everyone that's not exactly like us is not the enemy.
Okay, so, you know, I want to dedicate my life to soul winning, to confrontational soul winning, getting people saved.
So just because Charlie Kirk talked more politics than we do, and, you know, engaged in the political dialogue more than we do,
therefore let's just be happy that he was killed. Folks, if they're not against us, they're for us.
And you know what? Charlie Kirk did a lot more good for America and for our society, and quite frankly for the Kingdom of God than negative.
Even with his bad ideas of Zionism. Hey, let's preach against those things, but hey, don't just hate someone because they're not exactly like us
You know, you don't live in this weird echo chamber
Where you think the only saved people on this earth are new IFB Christians
You need to get out more my friend
And it's so weird. I'm seeing all these people being like,
oh well, you know, I think Charlie Kirk isn't saved because, look, his wife is holding his cross necklace.
And I'm like, I doubt your salvation more now because you're using that as a salvation test.
Like, if you think because someone has a cross necklace that they're unsaved, it's like,
do you understand what the gospel is?
I mean, you would think every single character in the Bible is a reprobate besides Jesus, I guess.
I mean, you should read about Manasseh.
I mean, you should read about Lot.
I mean, apparently, these people live in such an echo chamber,
they would think like every single man of God in the Bible is like a reprobate.
Oh, Charlie Kirk isn't saved because he had a cross necklace.
It's like, what is wrong with you?
Like, where is the judgment?
I'm more concerned about your salvation after you've said that.
Go to Proverbs 17, Proverbs chapter 17.
Stop thinking that someone has to be perfect for you to love them.
Stop thinking that you have...
Oh, someone just has to be so perfect for me to be on their side or like them
or have anything to do with them.
No, that's not how God is towards us.
Look at Proverbs 17 verse 5.
Again, reprobates are this little population in our world.
They are the exception, not the rule.
When calamities happen, by and large, you should be sad about that.
And when you rejoice at calamity, punishment from God is coming your way.
That's why I have to preach this stuff, because if I don't, and you go out having this stupid mentality,
you can destroy your life by inviting God's judgment upon you.
No, do not rejoice at calamities.
Your average Joe dies something, you know, average person dies.
Be sad about that.
Look at, go to Ezekiel chapter number 13, Ezekiel chapter number 13.
We need to have balance as Christians.
You know, the Bible is not an extreme book.
The Bible is a very balanced book.
Look at Ezekiel chapter number 13.
Verse number 11 and people will throw this verse in our face, but you know, I'm not afraid of any verse in the Bible
Notice what it says
Say unto them as I live say at the Lord I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Amen
But that the wicked die from his way or turn from his way and live turny turny from your evil ways for why will you die?
Oh house of Israel, you know when the unsaved die
That's not something to rejoice about when average Joe dies who's a sinner. That's not something
I'm happy about God would rather all people get saved
God's not willing that any should perish for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
That whosoever believe it the name should not perish but have everlasting life God is not rejoicing
When your average Joe goes to hell, and you know what, neither should you be.
When the average person dies.
Now of course, are there exceptions?
Yes, but you know what, I get really annoyed with exception Baptist Church in every area by the way.
I just, I don't like exception Baptist Church where we sit here and major on the minors.
Here's the default mode. Love people.
Here's the default mode. Someone dies, I'm sad about that.
Someone's harmed, I'm sad about that.
Are there exceptions? Of course there is. Go to Psalm chapter 58.
Yes, there are exceptions, but you know what? Don't live your life by the exception.
Live your life by the rule.
Psalm 58.
So we saw God does not rejoice in the death of the wicked. Now look at verse 10.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeeth the vengeance.
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
How can you get these two verses to be reconciled with each other?
It's very easy. This is talking about reprobates and reprobates only.
Don't rejoice at his death.
When your unsaved grandmother dies,
you know, I've seen people make these posts like,
my grandma was unsaved and she died
and so she's now in hell,
which means she's a reprobate.
So should I hate her?
Should I even go to her funeral?
And it's just like,
I just have no words.
You know what I mean?
It's just like, what is happening to people?
This is a small amount of people.
This is the exception, not the rule.
When an unsaved, drug addict, drunk, who didn't care about church,
and didn't read his Bible when he dies, I'm sad.
Is it his fault? Yes, it is.
It is his fault.
You know people can do things that are their fault
and get the just things that they deserve and you can still feel bad for them?
You could see someone driving like a moron on the road.
This is the example I like to think of.
You see people that just drive like idiots.
They almost always have Texas license plates, by the way.
Because Texans are terrible drivers. God bless you Texas friends, but it's just true, okay?
They drive like morons, they drive like idiots, and they crash into the wall and all the comments are like,
Oh, God, what do you deserve? Oh, isn't this great? Let's celebrate or people will cheer. It's like he drove like an idiot
It's his fault, but you know what? It still sucks that he got hurt. It's still sad that he died
That's the attitude that we need to have folks. Yes, there are exceptions. Yes, when a child molesting
God-hating reprobate dies. I am happy about that
Amen. No one is going to accuse me of being too loving to the wrong type of people,
but you know what? I did sure also don't want to be accused of being hateful towards the wrong people.
I want to love the right people. I want to hate the right people.
My default mode in life is always love. I want more love in our church,
more love in our state, more love in our community, more love in our country.
We need more love in this world right now.
It's not that, you know, people who are listening to this sermon, new IV listeners,
you're not really struggling with the hatred side of things.
You know, what we need is more love.
And we need to love the right type of people.
Go to John, or I'm sorry, go to Proverbs chapter 8.
While you're turning there, Isaiah 5 verse 20, the Bible says,
That put darkness for light and light for darkness that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter
How could any child of God sit here and say that murder is good?
Last time I checked the Bible said thou shalt not kill
We should not sit here and rejoice in murder. By the way, I am not an advocate
I am not you know saying let's have this happen. I'm not an advocate for reprobates being murdered
If it happens, am I sad that some reprimand child molesting hater of God is now in hell?
No, I am not sad, but I am not sitting here as an official position advocating murder.
No, absolutely not. I'm advocating for the lawful death penalty.
I am not advocating that some psychopath takes a rifle and goes and shoots up a bunch of faggots.
I'm not advocating for that. I've never advocated for that.
I'm advocating for lawful capital punishment, because that's love.
Those that call evil good and good evil don't say here and say that murder is good murder is always wrong folks
It's always wrong Proverbs 8 verse 36
But he that sinned it against me wrong in his own soul and all they that hate me love death
That's what we're seeing today. We're seeing a lot of hatred. Where's a lot of that hatred coming from?
It's coming from people that hate God
And you see all these leftists celebrating death?
Why is that? It's because they hate God and they love death.
Is anyone really surprised that the group of people that defend brutally butchering innocent babies in the womb,
what's the difference between them being okay with brutally butchering babies in the womb
versus an adult man getting brutally killed in public?
There is no difference to them because they love murder, because they love death.
because they hate God.
That's why we just got to stop this idea of like,
well, let's work it out with them.
Let's talk things out with them.
It's like, no, these people need to be destroyed.
Look at John chapter 13, verse 35.
John chapter 13, verse 35.
John 13 verse 35 by this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love
One to another. I mean, that's supposed to be the trademark
That we are a disciple of Christ is when we have love one for another. That's what we want to strive for as a church
That's what we should be. How is it that you get some love back in your heart?
You know because the people that said these things I'm not even saying they're unsaved, but they definitely are lacking love
How is it that you can get some love back in your heart?
I'll just read for you Proverbs 16 verse 3 commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established
If you go out and work for God,
you will have the right mentality on things.
If you wake up every day and read your Bible,
the Bible will renew your mind
and give you the right thoughts, the right opinions,
the right outlook on life.
And I guarantee you,
people who see an innocent murder
and rejoice at that,
those are people that are not reading their Bible.
And I'll tell you what, commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established.
You know, it'll help you get some more love for people is going out to the doorstep
and looking at people in the eye that are real souls that are destined for the eternal flames of hell
and actually asking that person if they're for sure they're going to heaven
and actually spending time with them in their dirty ghetto area
and showing them the gospel and getting them saved.
That's going to renew some love in your heart.
Go to Revelation chapter number two, Revelation chapter number two.
But here's what I've noticed.
Christians who struggle with ungodly hatred,
not hating the right things,
but Christians who are the most hateful towards the wrong things
and they're just living a life that's just consumed with malice and envy, hateful
and hating one another,
they're the same people that are super-baccalate
and they're not doing much for God.
They're the same people that they're just like the armchair quarterbacks, they're not actually in the arena,
they're not actually in the fight, they're not actually in the Christian battle,
they're just watching from the sidelines, judging everyone else,
and just spewing hatred on anyone else.
Look at Revelation 2 verse 4,
Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent,
and do the first works, or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
But this thou hast, that thou hateest, the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
You know, I love this passage here because Jesus is rebuking some things and he's congratulating some things.
And these people, they have the godly hatred down.
They've got the right type of hatred down saying, hey, you guys hate...
the deeds of the Nicolaotans, I hate them too. He's like, I'm right there with you.
These people are on the right track with the Lord Jesus Christ when it comes to
this area of their life. Hey, a lot of liberal Christians, they've got this part wrong.
But notice also, he's saying, you've left your first love. And what do they need to do?
They need to get back the first works. Why? Because Christians that lack love,
Christians that struggle with ungodly hatred are always the Christians that aren't doing works.
That's what it comes down to, because you know what?
People who go out soul winning every single week of their life,
they are not going to become hateful people.
People who spend their lives on X just consuming negative things
and don't go out and serve God, they will become hateful people.
And like you've seen this huge revival of actual real racism in our society right now.
And it's like, look, if you're struggling with that,
here's what will help you is why don't you come with us to the black ghetto
and preach them the gospel and see them believe on our Lord Jesus Christ.
Maybe you'll get some love back in your heart.
Because look, I'm not saying like being a racist is some sort of reprobate sin.
No, this is a natural temptation for man, of course, but you know what?
You need to go out and love people and loving people will change your heart.
You need to go out to the swat soul winning times and meet that lady whose boyfriend was
just murdered and let her cry with you and let her talk to you and preach her the gospel
and maybe you'll get some love back in your heart.
Or that saint that's in the hospital who lost loved one.
You know, maybe you need to do that once in your life so that you can get some love back in your heart for the brethren.
You know, some people have probably never done something like that.
And it kind of shows sometimes.
You need to invest into other people.
Go to Hebrews 10.
You know, maybe if you wept with those that wept, you'd become a more loving person.
Instead of getting to the point where your heart is so cold where someone gets murdered and you're just like good
My first reaction was good. My first reaction was that's not sad. My first reaction was I'm not gonna boo-hoo
You're not a loving person my friend
You know who else is not loving people
People who don't go to church and people who skip church look at Hebrews chapter 10 verse 24 and let us consider one another
to provoke and to love and to good works.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together
as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another
in so much the more as you see the day approaching.
Hey, maybe if you were more faithful to church
and you were stopped thinking only about yourself
and you actually considered one another
to provoke to love and to good works,
maybe you'd be a more loving person.
You know who the most loving people are those that are faithful to church
Why because they're considering one another to love and to good works
And you know what the Christian life should not be that you get saved and you just get invested into and loved on and
Cater to your whole life
You should get to a point where it's about other people
Because that was what Jesus was about was serving other people and look I get it babes and Christ
Let's cater to them. Let's help them grow
But you should come to the point of your life where you're not just coming to church for yourself
But you're actually coming for others, where you want to invest in others, where you want
to pray for other people on this list, where you want to teach other people how to go
soul-winning.
When other people are going through tragedy and hardship, that you want to put your arm
around them and pray for them and love them and not, it'd be all about you.
Christians that don't go to church are not loving people.
That is a fact.
Go to Psalm 119, Psalm 119.
Psalm 119, look at verse 97.
Oh, how love I thy law.
It is my meditation all the day.
Why does someone love God's word?
Because they read God's word.
Because they use God's word.
Because they meditate on God's word all the day.
You don't read the Bible?
You don't memorize scripture?
Let me tell you something.
You don't love God's word.
You want to love God's word more?
You need to read God's word.
You need to live God's word.
Verse 98.
Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies, for they are ever
with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way that I might keep thy word.
I have not departed from thy judgments, for thou hast taught me how sweet are thy words
unto my taste.
Ye sweeter than honey to my mouth.
Therefore, I hate.
every false way.
Are you seeing this over and over in the Bible
that when we hate something,
why is it that we hate something?
It's driven by love for that which is right.
He starts out, he's just like,
oh, how love I thy law.
It is my meditation all the day.
I mean, this is a dedicated Christian right here.
He's just reading the Bible.
He's waking up, reading the Bible.
He's just thinking about the Bible all day.
He's memorizing the Bible.
He's singing about the Bible.
He's praising the Bible.
And as a result of that,
he hates every false way.
A spirit-filled man, godly man, a loving man, hates every false way.
Why? Because he's driven by true love.
You want to know why I hate false gospels?
And why I hate false prophets?
And why I don't care false prophets?
Die and go to hell is because all the other innocent people
that they deceive and drag to hell with them.
And if you actually love God's Word, you hate false doctrine.
If you actually love the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you hate false prophets.
And it's not that we're just sitting here and we're just so obsessed with hatred for the sake of hatred.
No, it's just that we love so much and that our default is love.
And we just love God's Word so much that it pisses us off when people lie about it.
When people teach false doctrine,
When people blaspheme God's Word, when people talk crap about it,
when people talk crap about our Savior,
when people hate our fellow brother and sister in Christ,
when people kill our fellow brother and sister in Christ,
it fills me with righteous hatred towards the right type of people.
Why? Because of my love for that which is right.
Go to 1 John 4.
1 John 4.
First John 4 verse 7, beloved, let us love one another.
for love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him, hearing his love, not that we love God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
No man has seen God at any time.
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Folks, at the end of the day, the mature Christian life, you know what it's all about?
It's all about love.
And you know what?
Loving God and loving your neighbor is going to motivate you to do certain things.
If you love God, it's going to motivate you to go to church, to keep His commandments,
to read the Word of God.
If you love God and you love the King James Bible and you love the right doctrine, it's
going to motivate you to hate some things.
It's going to motivate you to hate false doctrine and lies.
And when you love innocent people and innocent victims, it's going to make you hate the bloody
And when you love those people, it's going to make you hate the person who loves violence.
And when you love children, you hate pedophiles, and you hate reprobates, and you hate sodomites.
And when you love God, there's people that hate Him.
You hate those people because of your love for God.
But our lives should be centered around love. Loving what? The lost, right?
That should be one of the biggest things that we love in this world is the loss going out
using our short lives to actually make a difference in this world
by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ because as we've seen, you never know when your last day is.
And I would like to die well. You know how you die well? You die well by living well.
You die well by being a person who's known for being loving,
not knowing, not being known for someone that's hateful.
You know, we should love the brotherhood.
We should love the King James Bible.
We should love Anchor Baptist Church.
You should love your pastor.
You should love your family.
You should love your friends.
You should love your community.
You know, you should love your fellow man.
You should just love your fellow human beings.
Even the ones that aren't saved, even the ones that are living a wicked life, even the ones that are going down a wrong path.
And you know what? It doesn't matter what you think about someone's belief, just rejoicing over a normal person being killed is disgusting and evil.
And we will not tolerate it. We will not stand for it.
We'll close with Psalm 20 verse 7,
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
Realize that when we preach the whole counsel of God, we're going to be called hateful.
We are going to be known as those, oh, you guys are violent, you guys are hateful, you guys are for war,
but you guys better understand that the reality is that I'm for peace.
And that anything that I preach that is deemed as being hateful by the world,
let me tell you the motivation that I preach, the whole Council of God, is out of love for God and love for our fellow man.
You know, that is the attitude that we need to have, and hey, you know, Charlie Kirk's
death is kind of cool in the sense that when he died, all the reprobates rejoiced.
You know, when I die, I would like all the reprobates to rejoice at my death.
And let them call me hateful, and let them call me a Nazi, and let them call me all
those things.
But you know what I would like to be remembered amongst my fellow Christians is that I was
actually a loving person.
You know, I hope you want to be remembered that same way.
How do you do that?
You do that by making your life all about love.
Let's pray. Lord, thank you so much for this day.
And I just pray that you would heal our country,
that you would heal the hearts and minds of people
to not be so hateful towards the wrong things, Lord,
that you would help us to be consumed and obsessed
with loving the right things, loving you, loving your word,
loving your doctrine, loving our fellow man.
Help us to realize that any hatred we have should only be motivated out of a love for things that are good.
Help us to strive to be a more loving people
towards everyday Joe in America, our neighbor, those we run into at the store and in life,
and to our family members, of course, Lord, and to our brothers and sisters in Christ. We love you in Jesus' name. We pray. Amen.
Our last hymn this morning will be number 100 day by day.
One hundred will sing their starting on the first day by day and with each passing moment strength by fine to meet my trials here.
Trusting in my father's wise bestowment I no cause for worry or for fear.
This time beyond all pleasure Gives unto each day what he keeps past
Lovingly it's part of pain and pleasure Ringling toil with peace and rest
for each hour. All my hairs he faint would bear and cheer me.
He whose name is counselor and power. The protection of his child and treasure
is a charter that on himself he lay.
Thy strength shall be in passion, Disappear to me, he may
Help me bear in every tribulation, So to trust Thy promise is award
We're in trouble and trouble beating
There to take as from a father's hand
One by one are the days the poem is fleeting
Till I reach the promised land
Amen, with that you are dismissed.
