JESUS, HATE, AND SIN CANNOT CO-EXIST IN THE SAME TEMPLE

A subject that reveals our sins will not appeal to us; we do not want to hear about things that are offensive or opposing to God when living in sin. No one who has had an abortion intends to talk about it (unless it's to stop someone else from having one); most times, they are ashamed of their sin. The KKK wears hoods to hide who the Haters are, people who hate enough to kill someone because of their beliefs or skin color. We, who live in the flesh, do not want to hear God's Word about our sins; some even justify their sins. People that commit adultery hide and sneak around; because they know they're doing wrong but blame the person they are cheating on. People that desire worldly things; will sacrifice their souls to keep them; they do not care about the consequence.
We can keep claiming we love Jesus "like Judas did" and live in sin. But do not be fooled that we are passing the test when we willfully sin against God's Word, "This is called blasphemy. " It applies to such sins as cursing God or deliberately degrading things related to Him Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12;22-32). 1 John 1:6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but live in spiritual darkness; if we are not practicing the Truth, we are not part of the Truth. As we study God's Word and understand the true meaning of His Word, we become more Christ-like and change our ways.

Lord, You said that You are entirely convinced that we are full of goodness; although most Christians today live in sin, You still show the same love and mercy. Father, we understand that sin is a sin, but we are committing an abomination now: against the Word, the Church, and humanity, Lord, we have become like Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus, how can we say we know the Word but do not heed the Word? Forgive us for the way we choose to live. Father, we have turned the Churches into businesses, and our Spiritual Leaders live like Rock-Stars; while the communities and neighborhoods around the Church fall apart. Lord, we no longer use the Churches as Sanctuaries; for those who seek refuge or help, we turn Your lost sheep away. Jesus, we need Your help right now; bring unity among Your people who are called by Your name. Our struggles are no longer against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, the power of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil.   So, Lord, we need Spiritual unity that gives us strength and courage; to fight against the things of this dark world, Lord, let those who claim YOU stand up and be a light that brings hope and justice to someone's life. Lord, help us live in such a way that we do not get shame of You or ourselves;  Father, we humble ourselves to You and ask for Your forgiveness, in Jesus' name, Amen.
