Jesus said love your enemies, and he meant what he set stage for the line of fire with your host activist offer international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH your again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome friends to the line of fire. This is Michael Brown delighted to be with you. 866-34-TRUTH number: 866-34-TRUTH 7884. I'm coming we live from Orlando Florida and on the road almost continuously for some weeks now so well on the road a whole lot so that means if you listening on radio. Everything is 100% normal.
If you're watching on YouTube or Facebook.
It is audio only payment.
After all, I'm not the face of moral cultural and spiritual revolution.
Voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution so the voice is the same 86634 hey friends, speak truth today to speak the truth in love, and skill rock. Some boats it's going to upset some apple carts. Let it be. Truth is sometimes disturbing truth sometimes makes us uncomfortable. Go to the doctor you get a report you didn't want to hear it makes you uncomfortable, but it is for your ultimate good. So I wrote an article that went yesterday and is going live today on different sites and it simply said this love your enemies as a command not a suggestion, and I quote from the words the words of Paul and this is on the heels of the national prayer breakfast where professor Arthur Brooks spoken that subject. He actually has a book that came out March of last year's list a year ago called love your enemies, how decent people can save America from the culture of contempt so in any case, he spoke at the national prayer breakfast. Pres. Trump got up and said afterwards that I don't know if I really agree with that. Some of it was set appreciate the presence honest in and talked about how he had a problem with people that he felt used faith as a cover-up for their their own views or sins. Yet a problem with people claim to pray for him when they didn't. And then at the end is like. It's not easy I'm trying but you have these people really hurt million mommy that's why this is not just difficult know it's it's easy it's impossible in the natural so I wrote about this same. What if what if the president had made comments that were different registers the prayer breakfast but later in the day when he really went after the people that had attacked him after his acquittal and and and and and for each of us. What is this mean how does this play out.
What's remarkable is that people responded to the article and attacking me for writing there responding to the articles.
It was some attack on Pres. Trump. Frankly, I'm not expecting Pres. Trump to act in lofty Christian ways I am saying it would be best if he did, it would be helpful if he did, it would be good for the country if he did, and let's pray that he will but let's examine our own lives, but it's remarkable how people just throw out what Jesus says draw out what Paul said not all ridges must fight back around like a love does not a peep.
That's what Jesus is addressing.
That's what Paul's addressing real enemies people who really want to hurt you personally.
He's not talking to the military and saying if your country is invaded by a hostile foreign power try to kill you that you don't fight back. It is not even addressing say if your dad husband and someone breaks into your home at night some cereal rapist and killer and trust protect your family and you get a baseball bat in the closet. You can't pick it up and and club the guy and knock him out. It's it's not addressing that all its addressing attitudes of our heart.
And yet the response of some people's been utterly remarkable and reminds me of how deeply divided we are and how carnal. So many of us are, but time. But let's start with the words of Jesus are right spoke the words of Jesus. Matthew 540 348.
You've heard that it was said love your neighbor and hate your enemy that that's not an exact verse in the Old Testament, but there were traditions and understandings current in the Jewish world based on other portions of Scripture based on tradition that suggest you love your neighbor and your hate your enemy. So many felt that Ms. be righteous that is being holy, that is, reflecting God's heart is God hates the wicked Jesus is. But I tell you love your enemies is released.
Your personal enemies love them. The people that are opposing you and try to hurt you love them. The persecuted church through history learned to love its enemies love its persecutors love the ones torturing and killing it and putting it in prison. They learn to love. They learn to pray for forgiveness of those people that we come to repentance. Jesus says I tell you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your father in heaven.
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you will reward when you get on even the tax collectors doing that and if you greet only your own people what you doing more than others do not even pagans do that.
Be perfect. Therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. So perfect. Your does not mean perfectly sinless but absolutely wholehearted and consistent and mirroring the attitude of our father who causes his sun to rise on the evil of the good sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous will some people don't deserve it certain level.
None of us deserve it. None of us deserve God's grace, but we are called to follow God's example because he causes the rain to fall just and the unjust. Because of the sunshine on the righteous and the unrighteous to have people persecuting you what you do pray for them.
You have people here enemies were trying to hurt you love them, not again.
It doesn't mean that you just capitulate to evil in every regard.
For example, there are times when it is right to go to court should do with the believer. If you can avoid, but there are times in his right and fair and honest to go to court and let's just say the courts can pursue something, whether you do or not. In other words, if if a family member.
Let let let's say, God forbid someone broke into your brothers home. Your physical brother write your brothers home and killed him. The mixed robbery killed even if the family wanted to say we just forgive obviously justice is to take its course. Obviously justice to study the say that person is broken or that person said love that person needs to be at the very least incarcerated and that's for the good of society if they are, and for this person's discipline that they are you can love that person and work with the police to catch that person you love that person and say amen to the judge's sentence that puts the prison, but you truly want what is best for that person units and I hope you brought hope every day for you in prison is hell. I hope that every night you have nightmares that you know I want you to repent. I want you to experience God's love. You've destroyed our family have destroyed a life you have brought unbelievable pain and hardship that in this world will always be with us yet we choose to forgive and pray for your salvation. Many people try to get away from these words, which are very much flesh killing. They try to get away from these words and they said well you were not for the writers encountered fire were, how about we just take Jesus at his word than the sun what Paul said bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse do not repay anyone evil for evil.
We are not just retaliate you hit never hit you, you insult them young and so you you trust the treasure.
Do not reply repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone if it is possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with it. Everyone do not take revenge by difference, but leave room for God's reference written is mine to avenge, I will repay, says the Lord. On the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, quoting from Proverbs 25 feet him is pretty clear if he is thirsty, give him something to drink and do initial heap burning coals on his head, which may mean that in showing love to your enemy.
You will cause them to repent. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good friends. It's so easy for us to be overcome by evil.
It's so easy to get caught up in the system of hatred and the cycle of hatred, I should say so easy to get caught up of tit for tat you to this alternate judge may alter Jill.
You hurt me I'll hurt you. And next thing we we become degenerated as human beings we become gross and ugly of harsh and destructive. We don't radiate the goodness in the love of Jesus legally further with this alternate first let's let's listen to a couple of clips from the prayer breakfast. This is Prof. Arthur Brooks.
These just little segments from his talk. Here's the first clip if you want to persuade them, which you should, you can only do a long way and that's with love. It was not an applause line.
Thank you finally deposited waiting so long for Zoe's is having a little fun there but making his point about how we have to conduct ourselves how we should be living, acting, walking, and any says something to see some level tongue-in-cheek, but is acknowledging that this is a difficult process. Listen to clip number two. Ask God to give you the strength to do this hard thing that go against your human nature to follow Jesus teaching you believe Jesus teaching act like it. Need to love your enemies.
Ask God to take political contempt from your heart and sometimes it is just too hard. Ask God to help you fake it hard. Actually, I like it. Ask God to help you fake it has got to help, but his point is well taken. This is a challenging command that is above our pay grade is above our ability in and of ourselves is why we need to walk in supernatural grace. You won't believe what happened with my interaction someone on Facebook about this very subject exterior the light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends for joining us on the line for 866-34-TRUTH for truth is there a way for us to overcome the incredible divide it's in our country right now is, is there a way to push back against the extreme hatred that seems to be on both sides of the political divide. Frankly, I'm not expecting to come into unity with someone who rejects the gospel in the fundamental level.
I'm not expecting to come into unity with someone who is radically pro-abortion. Someone who celebrates queer activism. I'm not expecting to come into harmony with someone like that. But there is a way to do things right can be a bridge builder. There is a way to do things right can win hearts.
There is there's a way to do things were I humble myself rather than attack and that can lead to transformation so let me just give you an example of some of what happened on Facebook now every comment is valuable if someone's weighing in with your viewpoint.
That's important, but because we get tens of thousands of comments hundred well for the course of the year you hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of comets and other social media sites and then my articles are posted. Lots of different places and people responding their obviously I'm not able to read all the comments even a fraction of the comments and the goal for these platforms is not for me to try to interact with everyone, in which case I be buried for life and you never hear from me again. Aside from social media comments, but the goal is to post what I post article video whatever and that you respond you interact that's that's what is therefore every so often, though, all notice what's going on. The civil will draw some to my attention and I will interact.
Sometimes I'll do it to make it a teachable moment. Sometimes I notice what someone said was was extremely important and therefore merits a response, but many times I just want to see how someone will respond and I noticed some of the comments that were coming in to the article on love your enemies. If you have it ready. It's on a website and structure Brown.org or is always on stream.org as well so I was curious to see the way people would respond to this article because I I recognized that some would fight back running in love my enemy edges being weak will you count Donald Trump to be we ought.
Thank God we have a fight, unaware back down anymore. I thought for sure that's gonna happen okay and in therefore I want to look at some of so I was reading some of the comments I thought okay you couldn't read the article and and in written there because the picture the graphic that was used on stream. That's the first article that I posted first link I posted has a picture of a smiling Donald Trump. Next respond. Nancy Pelosi is a boy that will be nice to see that again what that even if there ideologically distances apart that they are to be civil towards others as human beings.
Now it's kind degenerated into a schoolyard battle in many ways, so it had that that picture and then I talked about the prayer breakfast in presidential thing is not easy to to do this but that Jesus commanded us to write and then we we going to read the article so I I posted this.
I'm hoping that some of the comments here were written before reading the article. Otherwise, I find it very distressing that followers of Jesus would try to find ways to avoid loving their enemies while so one woman replied recall Jesus is not her name.
She is not blocked from the site by the I'll need your opinion. I really know what I believe and stated boldly. Your pen doesn't change my God bless and wake up okay this is member responded to my article on love your enemies, then she posted.
While I can't imagine due you need help now. And was this person is like 18 years old you normally don't call another person die leader Elder dude but okay whatever that another one again. I haven't posted yet a response is just as Susan get worked up. Do you have some serious problems.
The responses on this poster more biblically grounded your original post!
You're being called out for your nonsense too!? And some little face, some with the facial responses test. This is a response to my article. Love your enemies, right, I wrote back I'll overlook your rudeness but you telling me that Jesus does not call you and me is followers deliver enemies really she responds so you can drive me all day long service billing. My faith in Christ. Christ is rocksolid view is a member of the court clergy should question all day long, don't question me or my faith double summation point followed by another post I'm not being rude you're being stupid dressier commander-in-chief to bow down to the enemy and multiple isolation points return your ridiculous know it is to fight them. In Christ name, put them asunder, delete them go away. What you say.
While that's the seal I wrote the article friends. This is everywhere. These attitudes, I responded when you're actually ready to respond to a review article to the Lord's call to each of us deliver enemies. Please do but please do it without the continuing insults and rudeness. Until then, please be kind enough to refrain from commenting. Thanks. She wrote back with three laughing faces and the word full and then I'm not playing your game cripple! Cripple laughing mocking faces full that those are not on that matter. This gal is is her loss. It's it's it's her problem. It's her spiritual weakness and spiritual blindness and and carnality in terms of responding like this. Okay and reading the article has nothing to do with capitulating to two ones to one's ideological enemies. I'm in here. Here's what I wrote in the article, specifically said that the call deliver enemies wants it would be easy. No one even said it would be possible without divine help, but we are called to love our enemies.
It's a divine command that the human suggest exit this to be sure, this is not talking about how our countries military should respond to a foreign invader, nor is it telling a husband and father what to do if a serial killer breaks into his home, intent on killing his wife and children.
These teachings refer to her interpersonal relationships to our attitude to the responses we bless those who curse us will rehearse them back. We love those who hate us and we hate them back. We overcome evil will be overcome by evil. There are certainly times from making a spirited defense of one's position especially for the cause of righteousness, and there are certainly times when evil must be publicly and plainly rebuked you can rebuke someone will have a great love for them at the same time. You can even want justice to be done while having great love for the criminal justly sentenced for his crime. In short, the command to love her.call on us to compromise our ethics. It calls on us to take our ethics to a higher level hating evil even to the point that we refuse to be corrupted by Jim Stennett. It's not a matter of saying just roll over here we have said, we have concerns in our schools or kids are getting taught trash in some radical sex ed program and were very concerned about that, but because we love our enemies. That means we just let our kids be abused with this teacher noticed me that it all means you get involved in the school system because you love your kids knew of righteousness made to stand up for what's right.
But your opponents.
Once pushing this agenda you really care for them. You really pray for them. You really desire to see God's help in their lives that that you would take every opportunity you had to be a blessing to, for example. For example, let's say you've got lesbian superintendent of schools who is openly and proudly pushing a radical lesbian, transgender agenda in the schools beginning in kindergarten and and when you're at school board meetings and things like this.
She ridicules the Christian mocks the Christians and you're just antiquated bigot you've had your time jumping extreme picture.
I understand that okay affect every lesbian is like the Simplot penny extreme picture to illustrate something that does really happen in our schools and are in our school systems okay so you have you have this radical stance against what you stand for and says hey your kids in our school and were entrusted with caring for them to really teach what we think is best.
Molecular bow down to your old bigoted homophobic whites so you're fighting against this you're standing against the shoemaking appeals your your your your writing letters. You do what you know how to do right your your job wrote and you see this person, this woman stuck on the side of the road that that hurt her engine failed.
She stuck on the side of the road it's raining as I was me driving by I and and and I am seeking to put into practice what Jesus told love my enemies and on top of that I been praying for this person.
My first reaction be all what an opportunity to help out, roll down the window. Hate what can I do hate Lily. Let's get my car it's raining out here let's make a phone call is to we can here let me get you so hate delete a meal it was that to me would be one an opportunity to bless, but it would be from the heart because I've been praying for this person and I care about this person and I want to see God's best for the person at the same time, I will hotly oppose that agenda and I will do what I can take to get a right and fair educational curriculum in school for the kids and I will stand up publicly and say hey there's no personal animosity here, but I think what you're doing is destructive and wrong and dangerous and can stand against it and hear my reasons for and you can do that love without being nasty without being mean-spirited without being vindictive and that's what Jesus calls for all it is flash killing.
Trust me, as human as you are is flash killing when your home yourself. Grace hate you got comments talk about call-in or any general question will over the phone's 866-34-TRUTH stay here. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice aboard cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends for joining us online for coming rely from Orlando Florida today of done ministering heat likely would be doing some TV recording tomorrow.
The doubling fly back Wednesday so will give you some programming notes tomorrow. I'm getting back into the book of Job.
Again, there were so many great questions you posted and there seem to be so much interest in the answers and I believe that the years I've spent in Job that God's giving cements is a think with any of us. If you really study and praying and search long enough, God will give us insights that can then share with others so we can dig back into the book of Job look at larger questions about Job and the problem of suffering. What would Job say to righteous sufferers will talk about that will talk more about the old Satan in the book of Job and answer review questions and then Wednesday, God willing were going to do a special broadcast wrong and address some of the ridiculous hyper criticism that's in the body. Today some extreme positions by hyper critics that in fact, are bearing false witness are spreading falsehoods misleading information misinformation some cases I is an outright liar is adjusted willful ignorance. It's hard to say so I I don't reply to critics, sometimes on a daily basis.
I get sent.
Have you checked out this latest video BC this latest article using the site's website. All attack me my positions. I pray for God's best for them and I leave it and then here and there will be will address the truth of something.
If I see it's a controversy in the body but I don't respond to the critics, and it's been months since I've interacted with some of the criticism but a bunch of things have happened recently, some for 70 some comments that were so extreme that Wednesday were going to respond to the hyper critics and show you the danger of hyper criticism yes's with specifics with quotes with names everyone that will be addressing for five principal individuals or groups of reached out to numerous times behind the scenes on different levels or interacted with his much as possible. Have the door ultimately close to my face for further interaction of Republic interaction and dialogue.
But this for the good of the body, and that's what motivates me the glory and honor of the Lord's name and the good of the body or 866-34-TRUTH that I get over the phone lines for any question, comment on any subject, but it but I still want to get back to this issue of loving your enemies. If I asked you who your enemies for your enemies personal right that we are talking about a terrorist organization overseas) summit say ISIS River remains of a vice runtime method were talking about Hamas here will not even talk about in America some extreme pro abortion politician never talk about that right but your enemy, who are your enemies who are the ones who are actively trying to hurt you, who are the ones who are lying about you, who are the ones may be nonbelievers that have really caused a lot of pain may be a believer that is acting in a way that is a rational, hostile towards you that is taking things from you. What sure attitude towards angry parents of unwise want to see them suffer.
Hate that's understandable. It's not justifiable in God's sight. It's not allowed. Ultimately, in God's sight, but it's understandable because we get hurt. We want those who hurt us to be hurt. Also, we don't want them to go Scott free. We don't want to do skipping along in life when they've done such damage that we want to pay now.
Sometimes we want them to pay so they don't hurt someone else know it's it's it's not just a malicious things I gotta have to learn if they keep hurting people like this will never learn the can do a lot of damage.
Many times it's it's a retaliatory thing. You hurt me. I want to hurt you. You made me suffer. I want to make you suffer.
That's not the heart of God. Paul says don't take revenge. Let God do it here.
Do you think that ultimately God is going to allow injustice in his universe to think ultimately God will not determine that evil will be repaid.
Do you think ultimately it will be in someone's best interest to not repent, not repent, to hard their heart that this will actually be true. There could leave it to God. I actually pity those who mock the gospel and pity those who don't know God, because II know you pay for.
I know one day they they will see God face-to-face or face judgment.
Before that I pity them feel bad for them. But let's focus more on our attitude towards a person. Let me ask you this how how does God deal with you when you sin.
How did God deal with me when I was a ranked blasphemous center. When I was such a hardhearted wicked teenager that the first service I attended in August, church service I attended in August 1971 young lady there and the congregation broke down in her diary know what's the same high school with me. Antichrist comes to church. How did God feel about that had a gut feel about you and me when we were enemies of the gospel through wicked works and wicked attitudes and is Ephesians 2 says by nature children of wrath, we are yet powerless once it's in Romans five Christ die for the ungodly, Jesus died for us. We were in our sin or rebellion or ugliness or hatred.
Jesus died for us and how would God save us through his convicting power and his transforming love. Listen to what HS Richard Weiner said in his book Jesus revolutionary and I quote this as well. I quote this as well. In my article, love your enemies, he said our world has missed many revolution but not as effective as the one that divided history into BC and A.D. every revolution involves the shedding of blood sorted this one as much blood per hospital quality of the one far outweighs the quantity of others revolutionary. Indeed this mission to begin with the crosses for the whole world through suffering a revolutionary to build a church on the sacrifice that offers man forgiveness and atonement with God. As for the example of Jesus first Peter two universe 21 to this recall because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow the steps he committed no sin and no deceit was found in his mouth when their holder insults at him. He did not retaliate when he suffered, made no threats.
Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly to this we were called follow his example.
So not long after the prayer breakfast on Wednesday present troubles on the warpath.
August can take a victory lap and say how was quit right and he didn't feel he had done wrong. Bill Clinton apologized to the nation for for what you done and further the pain he had caused prison truck felt he was being unjustly and freely choose. Therefore, he's gonna take a victory lap and and understood and I expected him to lash out and attack. I wish he hadn't, but I expect them to do that. So, from his perspective.
His family staff been the victims of unjust attacks 13 straight years. There's a constant vilification of left-wing media unrelenting officer often wishes vicious marker of Hollywood celebrities, wiretap, seasonal wiretapping's campaign unjust attempts to remove from office with more investigation impeachment trial on yeah I can understand why the angry as much I get attacked on my level act multiplied ability times. If your president I so from a human perspective, it's totally understandable. Unfortunately, it's not justifiable to attack the way he did. So what if he had set what a presidential piece quit now right and and is got a great chance of reelection. Okay and and his loyal base of loyal maybe can win some of the others maybe can win some who are happy with the economy and happy with other things that he's doing but don't like who he isn't and question whether he did things wrong with the impeachment. All that with Ukraine call what he said. I hate the fact that the country so divided and I understand you been a big part of the division. But today I choose not to retaliate.
It's true that I've been acquitted, and I believe that justice has been done, but I choose to forgive those who sought to remove from office and I call my political enemies and my enemies in the media to work together for the good of our country.
I'll be the white now if they don't want to work. That's their business. You see if they want to be nasty. If they want to be basis if they want to be childish.
Now you expose them rather than getting down in the playpen with them and throwing toys at each other.
My stream college schedule. One of the senior editor, editors of screen.org Al Parada said hate this would be great.
Here's what you need to say after acquitted, it would be great if you did the survey wrote this before hand and and this is this is how it ends. The builder in you speaking, Donald Trump knows how this works like you did with the old post office building across from the White House. You've done the demo meaning the demolition now comes the beautiful remodel. You've got the economic heart of America, pounding heart, now turned to nurturing American soul you showed us the blood. He unbowed Street fighter show us the better angels of our nature.
Today, in this hour of political victory shows the greatest victory is to love one another. The grace and wisdom of God. God Yours truly someone deplorable great words, great words, if if only. But you see what happens. The Sahara you want to fight go-ahead for a list for what's right, I can back down one iota from doing what's right for standing for what's right for principal costs and I can apologize Senate what's right but I'm a contact person market to mean you personally I'm a consult you personally and I am not going to retaliate friends I have, figuratively and sometimes literally wash the feet of people that opposed and humble myself and and got the lowest position I could in almost every single case, it diffuse the situation and brought repentance on the part of the other person and where it didn't got supernaturally blessed and raise me up and cause them to be left out 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go over to Jack in Utah. Welcome to the line of fire). How are you today are your family doing all good. Manuel picking Gary up go-ahead all gear are less certain how your family doing everybody's good go ahead. Please okay you talked about early today about what Donald Trump said at the that the dinner thing debate that they did couple days ago and he retaliated back and insert harsh words even swore to me any use profanity that was later in the day that was not a seller might interest you. Later in the day. He did there and that he by no use of God toward like the Republican Party, which they called himself conservative. What is got to it since there right there still is it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown hate one more reminder friends. We have less than 10 seats left under Israel trip, which is in May. You will need to sign up now if you want to go.
Seats will not be available much longer and there was so many people that we can put on the buses really have two buses so it's a great time at 100 people total. We get a lot of time together times at night, having meals special teachings in addition to the absolutely life-changing extraordinary torso grass. Dr. Brown.org Esther Brown.org rental homepage to find out more right out. We go back to Jack in Utah, so also are your thoughts about the president's comments in the whole issue of love your enemies, your hurt. Every time when I hear our program how we talk. Your Varick Street look like you.
Looks like like a dictatorship. No necessary time to put some people like Pocahontas and all insert about Nancy Pelosi. Not everybody agrees with their low super name-calling and profanity and then using God in the Bible and used in their political reason or justification wonders not going to stop using God in the Bible scriptures.
Arbiter is a jackal it's gonna stop when Donald Trump when Donald Trump really comes to know the Lord in a deeper way. The goddesses judge, but you know a tree by its fruit right and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So, I am so glad that Donald Trump has has kept many many promises that he's made. I am so blessed to see that he is been true to the pro-life cause that is pushed back against radical career activism that he has been in so so many ways Promises that he made standing for religious liberties promises to Israel, but I'm so grieved over who he is and how he does things that are unnecessary that are destructive that are divisive that a road the larger moral or of our nation that contribute to a nastier, more divided culture that's grievous and he is been urged over and over and over again to change that behavior. He's been told it's not necessary, you can get your your work done just as well without that again. He can tell Nancy Pelosi why he categorically difference with her. He can absolutely slam her position he can expose what he feels is is something wrong or extreme in the part of the Democrats. Bernie Sanders bids. Elizabeth Warren with anyone else. By all means do it. Stand strong stand clear. Stand tall, but you can do it in a way without the name-calling. But look Ted Cruz to Cruz who was my pick for present and was the one that I want to see the president Lester would love to see be president one day he was daubed by Donald Trump lion Ted Cruz, not Linus and L all I owe and lion heart. It right but lion is and you're a liar and that had to do with something in the in the campaign in Iowa and there was some dishonest about the tickers even know about it, not to my knowledge, but either way you're not, you got character assassination. Someone who in many ways this is a God-fearing strong conservative standing for righteous principles right and careful with his words.
Then you insult the ways wife looks for no reason, such as an ugly woman right you insult looks righteous attractive woman right yourself and then you claim that his father to Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination, Witt.
This is uncalled for. This character assassination. This is damaging. This is wrong, but some of us, and thank you Jack for for weight.
Some of us all our soul against what the Democrats are doing with the radical left is doing with the left-wing media is doing with it.
The cultural elites are doing that grieved over that that we now descend to that same level of carnality, and when I call on us as believers to step higher. I get ridiculed and attack your spineless pay eight I as much spine as you may be more I risk my life for the gospel. Nepal said when he is guilty. Galatians don't bother me bury my body the marks and scars of the Lord Jesus. What I bit my own scores in a different way for obedience to the Lord our but if I'm not nasty if I'm not mean-spirited. If I'm not insult day. That means a lot wrong that friends is just carnality and some of us have descended into it. It always owes interacting with Nancy about this. He was just pouring her heart out as as we were going back and forth on some of the subjects and something that is she's grieved over it day and night and praise about and just carries such pain and not let me just find some of the comments that she made of. Let's see, she said, why did people praise and admire people like Corrie 10 boom, or others of like mind behavior and attitude has that now become unfashionable only now in some sort of difference its position with the principles of Jesus not apply because this is different or those were supposedly called to fight for us completely exempt from common decency and that we look the other way or even worse, condone the behavior and then she was pointing out a friend had posted an article attacking another political leader said hey look at this, but it was a satire article. The whole article was a spoof and the person that posted based on the headline right what I've done the same. I'm been guilty of that posted based on the headline as you read through the article says if you read this far, your stupid if he realizes healthy was a spoof and and what Nancy was saying was because this person believes the worst about the one the subject of the article there just naturally going to post it and she said this and this is just a general comment.
Truth is basically gone and the people of the lies they love them. We are in such big trouble. I can tell you this is the most insidious destructive evil which is attempting to completely bring us down in the praise of the very real and unregenerate part inside of us and reclaim got standing with us in our slandering gossip and bitterness and slander and gossip bitterness of our president right and just because God is serving our country. By these means that we use God's word to condone the very things he wants and she put THIS is crazy friends is true we are in the midst of cultural decline not just with queer activists, not just with the shouter abortion, not just with the radical trans activism not just with this exploitation of her over the median social media and in the epidemic of porn and not just in those areas but in terms of common decency and kinds of terms of morality here. Look listening and think right now about loving our enemies loving our brothers and sisters in the Lord. How we deal with that about reading through first John once a day every day for a month. Want to try the experiment and and see how that comes out see how you're feeling afterwards. I have flaws.
You have flaws you spend enough time with me and they're going to be things. Have to love despite me.
In other words, you have to love me despite those things and is much as I do my best to be honoring of everyone I work with and and to be kind and never to be demeaning to people I work with. I'm sure there are plenty of things about me that frustrates others difficult for others that can be taken the wrong way and and obviously I'm far from perfect myself. I hear put the love command is not based on moral perfection. When you get perfect love you when you get perfect then I'll love no no no that's like when when I'm on the road and I'm driving and I see so much try to get out from a side road. So I slowed down and I wave them in and then they don't acknowledge me.
They don't acknowledge me.
They they just speed off like what I'm should village in the first place is that my attitude or if if they pull out they wave likes accuracy year yeah I do good for people what when they were there nice and smiling back towards me. They get a smile for me whether nasty when the person at the fast food take-out is little Kurt gets the order wrong. It doesn't apologize like complaint your managers etc. editors are active parts not the end of the world I messed things up sometimes as well of an attitude, loving our enemies loving one another and remember what Jesus said in John 13 and Pauline. This is cut to the core of the issue and boy does it rebuke us by this, will the world know that you are my disciples, if you have love one toward another of my I mean if you could see me and some speaker Might my head in my hands just my eyes closed, rubbing my brow thinking about those words. All my that is the Jesus calling dear friends, I have an article bring the article just went up on screen.org. How did Hollywood get so woke commenting on the Oscars speech is and yet there some that are just so radical just some so far out there and in some of these folks ridicule our beliefs and ridicule our views.
I feel bad for them yet though give account to God the stand before God and be judged about the cross there terribly lost much riches they have, how much fame they have. I feel bad for them that they know the Lord my prayer is not God can God destroy them got cut them down like that for many pro se than it would've made it to get say no God grant them repentance save them slick and shy God's love show us back to more friends
