"Hate. . . But Cling to What Is Good"

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling is
  what is good."

                                                   ROMANS 12 : 9

Christians have a great deal to fight against these
 days: Pornography. Corruption in government.
Abortion. Homosexual right, Euthanasia. Sound
familiar, same sex marriage, Humanism and
secularism in schools.

   But our campaign simply can't be aimed at
what is wrong in our society. We can't rebuke
evil, expose the works of darkness, and simply
stop there.

   Rather, God calls us to lay down our lives for
the people behind the issue we support. Heroism
is an extraordinary feat of the flesh, and
campaign are occasionally won that way. But
not people. Holiness is the only power that not
only defeats darkness but changes our lives,
including the lives of those behind the issues
we oppose.

  That means praying for the pimp who exploit
wayward teenagers on the street. It means
interceding for the homosexuals who march
against city hall for sexual civil rights. It means
 campaigning in prayer for the pornography
mongers. It could mean connecting with the
director of a nearby abortion clinic, or
contacting a government leader who's on the
"take," and letting them know you care about
their spiritual needs. It could mean taking a
right -to-die advocate out to lunch to discuss
life worth living.

   Fighting and winning a campaign may bring
one personal glory, but fight for soul in prayer
and winning them to Christ brings glory to God.

    Approach problem in our society with a
Romans 12:9 frame Of mind. Hate what is evil,
But, in prayer, love the individuals  Behind
those hateful issues. As Jesus said, bless those
who Persecute you and love your enemy.
