Let’s Hate Hate—Not Each Other

Let’s hate hate—not each other.

Have we forgotten that the difference between America and dictatorships is we have the freedom to think and feel differently and choose accordingly? And we don’t have to cancel or kill each other because our opinions contradict.

Brother’s Keeper

Are we our brother’s keeper, or a stumbling block, an instrument for their demise? Are we a light to show the way or an excuse for wrongdoing? Are our lives salt and light or a shadow for sin to hide in? Do we offer a hand up, or a step down?

Are we willing to become all things to all men so some may be won? Is one of those things we’re willing to become, righteous? (By God’s grace and the work of the Holy Spirit’s working in us as we yield to Him.) Are we willing to hold ourselves to a higher standard for the sake of others— for the lost, or for our weaker brother?

All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all edify. 1 Corinthians 10:23 NASB

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brother’s and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Galatians 5:13 NLT

But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.  Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)

“Your compromise may become your children’s standard,” the preacher said.

If you don’t show your kids that you love your wife, you are telling them that you don’t. Every boy needs to know how to love a woman & your son is watching you to see how it’s done. The man your daughter will marry is greatly influenced by the one she sees in you. #TheFatherEffectBook    http://www.thefathereffect.com    @johnpfinch    #TheFatherEffect 

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. Mark 9:42 (NKJV)

Your kids are following you. It’s your choice where you lead them. -John Finch @johnpfinch    #TheFatherEffect    http://www.thefathereffect.com

We will each be held accountable for our actions, response to the Gospel, and our obedience to God. We’re also responsible for the influence we have on others. Let it be for good.

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please himself. Romans 15:1 NASB

“Lord, I fall so short! Change me, Jesus. Help me to live in Your Light; to be the light. Amen.”
