When "Love" = Hate

Many people of influence in the Christian community are questioning God's wisdom. (See Did Jesus Draw Lines or Circles? and Why Christian Leaders Are Judged More Strictly.)

They do this when they redefine moral behavior apart from clear Scriptural guidelines and according to popular culture. They miss one of the most important points about God's commands: they are given because He loves us and knows what is best for us.

God's commands are perfect, refreshing, trustworthy, radiant, precious, and firm (Psalm 19:7-11)! 

Questioning, downplaying, ignoring, or contradicting God's commands is the same as doubting His love and wisdom.

Pastors, speakers, authors, and musicians who redefine sin, are badly deceived. They think they're being loving to those involved in behavior forbidden by Scripture. But no one can be more loving than God (1 John 3:1)

We might not understand every aspect of God's commands, but we can trust Him as our creator. He is perfect. He always leads us out of darkness into the light.

Approving what God disapproves is a hate crime against God and against those enslaved to sin. Let's pray that Christians in positions of influence will clearly understand this. And let's pray that Christians will reject the teachings of those who compromise and redefine God's truth.
