DID YOU KNOW A PERSON CAN BE ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED to fornication but love the one who fornicated? Opposed to adultery but love the adulterer? Opposed to the homosexual lifestyle but love the homosexual? Opposed to dishonesty but love the one who is dishonest? Opposed to drunkenness but love the one who’s drunk? Opposed to violence but love the person who is violent? Opposed to white supremacy but love the deluded white supremacist? Opposed to environmental waste, consumerism, and destruction of the planet and love those contributing to it? Opposed to the mistreatment of immigrants but still believe in stricter border control policies, AND love all the people involved? Opposed to the mistreatment, perverted sexualization, and abuse of women and children and love BOTH the abusers and the abused? Opposed to police brutality and corruption within law enforcement AND recognize the MANY good sacrificial men and women who serve, AND love them all? Opposed to the organized church promoting the election of those who appear to be unbelievers but still love the elected officials and those who vote for them, AND pray for them? Opposed to abortion and yet love everyone involved on both sides of the issue?

BELIEVE IT! JESUS MAKES IT POSSIBLE!
How else could we appropriately love even ourselves- much less our neighbor? Love God and leave the hating to him. We are not allowed to hate. Be angry and do not sin- tough call- but possible for the true Christian. We can’t be sinless in our hate. We must leave our rage with God. He is BIG. He’ll take care of it.

DIALOGUE. LISTEN. LOVE ONE ANOTHER. PRAY. HOPE IN CHRIST AND PREPARE TO BE SURPRISED.❤️
