7/24/09 HATE IS OK

July 24, 2009
It Is OK To Hate
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I hate hatred, violence, racism, greed, perversion, deceit, suspicion, pride, wantonness, envy, anti-Christianity, laziness and every kind of wickedness. I hate sickness and death and division and all the by products of sin. It is good to hate, so long as we hate that which is evil.

Love The Sinner, Hate The Sin
We need to love the sinner and hate the sin; God does and we should too.

Love God, Hate Sin.
The more we love God, the more we hate sin. We don't love God if we don't hate sin. We don't love God if we hate sinners.

We Are Told To Hate Evil
Psalms 97:10
(10) Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Proverbs 8:13
(13) The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Amos 5:14-15
(14) Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
(15) Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

Upward and Onward in Christ,
Pastor David L. Gould
