I submit that the abundance of sin in our culture and the acquiescence of much of the Church to it is truly evidence that the love of many has grown cold. I would still be enslaved as a citizen of the kingdom of darkness had I not been told that a life without Christ was an affront to God and my behavior and lifestyle were evidence that I was immersed in sin and that I would pay a terrible price for continued rebellion. I was not yelled at. I was not ridiculed. I was not intentionally embarrassed.
Hard times require hard lines.
Let it be ridiculed as religious fundamentalism. Let it be scorned as right-wing extremism. I do not care any more because I am certain that in the throne room of the Heavenly Temple it is called sacrificial love. Jr. Unedited redistribution authorized and encouraged.
