| There's such a hatred towards the church, towards the gospel, towards the Christians. | |
| It's like right now they're voting in so many sections and so many cities about what we can and cannot do. | |
| They're saying, Christians, you just got to shut up and suck it up and just do what we said to do, even though it's against the Bible. | |
| And so there's such a division. | |
| But this is important, too. | |
| You know why there's such an assault on the church? | |
| Why? | |
| We're reaping what we've sown. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's good. | |
| Okay. | |
| You know, this is something, this wasn't a poll, it was a study. | |
| Worldwide study. | |
| And you know what the conclusion was? | |
| America is now the most negative country on the face of the earth. | |
| Oh, my. | |
| How did that happen? | |
| We used to be the most positive. | |
| Right. | |
| We're now the most negative concerned to these parameters. | |
| And I believe that started in the church. | |
| What we release in the spiritual realm gets released on the earth. | |
| Right. | |
| Why are Christians so quick to condemn, to believe the bad reports? | |
| When we're supposed, doesn't 1 Corinthians 13 and other places, our default should always be to believe, to hope, to see the best in people, not the worst. | |
| We have been some of the worst in condemning people that do make mistakes and all, but carrying it to incredible extremes. | |
| Jim, you were, you know what happened to you? | |
| What did the church? | |
| Right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And this is, we're reaping what we've sown. | |
| I tell you, we've got to repent. | |
| That's why judgment begins with the household of God. | |
| That doesn't mean we overlook sin. | |
| Right. | |
| No, but we handle it properly according to the biblical procedure, jurisprudence that is clear in scripture and it's laid out for us so that we don't become stumbling blocks in accusing one another. | |
| That's good. | |
| And we restore in the spirit of meekness. | |
| Is that right? | |
