Please pray with me:
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that the words of this sermon are YOUR words, and not mine. I pray that the message here touches those that need to be touched. I pray that those receiving this sermon remember that all Honor and Glory are yours, Lord, both now and forever. Amen and Amen.
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Today, I have just one question for you: Do you hate evil?
If you listen to the world around you, God does NOT exist. More and more, the news media and the liberals blame the problems of this world on Christians.
For a long time in THIS country, the Bible was taught in school. It was a reliable text book. I'm not talking about in a private school. Back then, there were no private schools, just schools.
Schools used to start their day with (GASP) a prayer. And the walls didn't tremble and the roof didn't cave in.
And what do you know, sex out of wedlock was scorned and you didn't hear of unwanted pregnancies or unwanted children. MARRIAGE was for life!
Crime rates were lower also.
Today we have babies having babies or getting abortions. People walking around angry all the time and they don't even know why they're angry, so full of hate. People killing others just because they can. More people just live together instead of getting married. Marriages are "until I get tired of you".
Oh, and the crime rates around the world keep going up and up.
How is this good? How is leaving God out of our daily lives a good thing? That's what the liberals and the news media want us to do.
The news media glorifies tragedies with the 24/7 coverage. What would happen if the news media stopped providing the coverage of some whacko going on a killing spree? Do you think that MAYBE some other mentally deranged individual who wants their five minutes of fame, would go out and try to out do the last mass murderer?
How would they get their fame if no one heard about it?
In today's lessons, we read that God loves those who hate evil. Are you engrossed in the daily news? Are you watching the 24/7 coverage of some individual going on a rampage? What movies and tv shows are you watching? Are they filled with evil?
How about the books you read? Are you reading Godly books or are you reading books about evil? Are you listening to music about killing and having random sex or are you listening to music about God and Godly things?
Recently here in Texas, a school track team was disqualified when one of their runners (a Christian) pointed to heaven as he crossed the finish line WAY ahead of his closest competitor.
We've had children expelled from school for having a Bible on their desk! It wasn't even opened. How far have we allowed the liberals and the devil to go? What was once a reliable text book is now banned.
We have people right now trying to make it a crime for Chaplains in the military to preach the word of God! They are doing everything they can to stop people from speaking of a God who LOVES. A God who loves those who hate EVIL.
Evil, is anything or anyone who goes against God. Of course, God will love those who hate evil. If we hate evil, then we MUST love God. If we love God, we MUST hate evil. It cannot be any other way.
GOD is good. Let me say that again. God IS good. One more time. God is GOOD.
If we love God (good), then we MUST hate evil (anything that goes against God). Simple.
So today, I have just one question for you: Do you hate evil?
Amen. Amen.
May the reading of this sermon bless you. May God be with you and you with Him, until we meet again.
Amen. Amen.
