NOTE TO SELF: In this present spiritual conflict, I will remind myself daily that hatred for my enemies is never, ever the Biblical option. I may hate the DEEDS of my enemy, but never the image-bearer himself, regardless of how far he has strayed from his Maker.
This will feel massively counterintuitive, but it is the narrow road of the Kingdom, in opposition to the broad way of the world.

AMEN, brother! As a former high school English teacher, I applaud your ability to meet my 5 C’s of Effective Communication: clear, concise, concrete, clean, and compelling! AND, most importantly, you operated from a biblical worldview! Preach it!

So true, and if we’re honest, the temptation is real. The ones who kill, riot, burn cities, etc. are acting out their hate, and we’ve seen way too much of that manifestation, but the hidden hatred that seeks a home in our hearts must be equally be rejected.
