I recently posted photos of people for whom I pray regularly. They were some of those for whom I feel extremely negative thoughts.
They could be seen as enemies to a proper society; enemies to me personally, perhaps; enemies to the Gospel.
When Jesus overturned the Temple tables - was this an act of hatred? - Surely not!
Jesus requires us 'to love our enemies' - and I try so to do. It can be extremely difficult to love somebody for whom you feel scorn. [Should 'the scorn' even be there? That is trickier.] - But we are required to 'fight the good fight' and 'seek righteousness'. I can have no belief in a 'wimpish Christianity'. Prayer is essential but that is not all - we must act too.
All very difficult as a balance but it must be attempted. I do not care too greatly for the Christian axiom "Hate the sin - love the sinner" as it tends to be rather glib. But sometimes it does rather capture the point.
They may try to wreck our nation but I shall always pray for them and genuinely want the best for them when they meet their Maker.
Christians must never forget this point - we are here to demonstrate the love of the Saviour.
It's quite a fine balance - isn't it?
Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
