What do we do about those people outside and inside the church that Murder? Not many have gone this far as to actually kill someone but Jesus said if you hate your brother, or you hate someone, you have already murdered them.
Matthew 24:12

[FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sin is and lawlessness is increasing just as Jesus said. How many of you have noticed how cold people are in church? we have big churches for those people - they can go to church, and they don't even have to talk to anyone. A simple face in the sea. Oh they might pick up a friend or two, but when they start lying, fornicating, [/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]adultery[/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] hating and murdering that person for whatever reason they can just pick up and get a new select friend, or even a new spouse. They can also lie about that friend pretty easily to make themselves appear more righteous - that's always good.
I am actually applying for a job for a Christian school where the previous teacher lied about her qualifications to actually do the job. We talk about people outside the church, with sin we don't particularly like, and make Christianity into some topical thing - where Abortion and Homosexuality become the only 2 things. While I am against both of these things, there is deep rooted hurt in each of these.
What about inside the church where people are hemorrhaging into Pornography, Adultery, being Liars, backbiters, and Gossips.
We say things like God is Holy and Hates sin - He hates YOUR sin - (Heb 12)your supposed to pursue peace with all men and the Holiness without which no one will see the Lord - SHUT UP and repent!
