=== Love And Hate Speech (02:56) ===

[00:00:00]  In your book, you said that to justify sin through our silence, it's a form of hate speech.
[00:00:13]  Yeah, really hate speech.
[00:00:15]  Can you explain that?
[00:00:16]  Yeah, we don't have time to massage it like it probably needs to be, but love, and again, the church has lost an understanding of love because of all this vain deceit.
[00:00:27]  Love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13, verses 4 through 8.
[00:00:31]  It's 16 character traits.
[00:00:34]  And in verse 6, it says, love does not rejoice in iniquity.
[00:00:38]  Yes, sir.
[00:00:39]  But it rejoices in the truth.
[00:00:41]  So as the Lord begins to awaken us, we are going to get a fresh revelation of God's kind of love, what it looks like, what it sounds like, how it acts.
[00:00:53]  And one of the things and attributes of God's kind of love is it protects.
[00:00:58]  It warns.
[00:00:59]  Jesus was God, who is love.
[00:01:02]  God is love.
[00:01:03]  Jesus was God or love made flesh.
[00:01:05]  And while he didn't condemn anybody, he didn't punish anybody.
[00:01:08]  He didn't call wrath down or curses or punishment on people even for sin.
[00:01:13]  He knew he would bear the curse of the law at the cross and God's punishment for all our sin.
[00:01:19]  He didn't condone sin and he warned people.
[00:01:22]  He warned entire cities that there is a wrath coming that you don't have to be a party to and partake of, that God came to save us from.
[00:01:33]  I love you being an evangelist, my dear brother, but I'm telling you, most people don't even know what they're saved from.
[00:01:40]  We are saved, yes, from our sins, yes, from the devil.
[00:01:43]  We are saved from the wrath of God that's coming.
[00:01:46]  And once that message is clear, people are going to turn.
[00:01:50]  So what I mean by that is love warns people, not condemns them, not is self-righteous or condescending, but it says, hey, if we crossed a cool bridge coming into here, we have a bridge where I live called Rooster Creek Bridge, a one-lane bridge.
[00:02:09]  And this is like a Rooster Creek bridge in two lanes.
[00:02:12]  It's just cool.
[00:02:13]  What if that bridge, what if I crossed that bridge and the thing collapsed?
[00:02:17]  Wouldn't I pull over?
[00:02:19]  And wouldn't I jump out of my car?
[00:02:21]  And wouldn't I be waving my arms at people coming that way saying, stop, you're on the wrong path.
[00:02:27]  This is destructive.
[00:02:29]  You're going to die.
[00:02:31]  Love would speak up.
[00:02:33]  Love would speak out.
[00:02:35]  Love would act.
[00:02:36]  You know what hate does?
[00:02:37]  Hate says, I ain't saying nothing.
[00:02:40]  I don't care if those people die.
[00:02:42]  In some cases, I want some of them to die because there really is hate in my heart for them.
[00:02:48]  And they're mean and they don't love God and they deserve what they're going to get.
[00:02:51]  That's hate.
[00:02:52]  Hate would be silent and watch people die.
