My heart is speaking. Will you take a moment to listen?
What’s fueling violence in our nation, in our churches? It’s HATE! And hate arises when people stop thinking critically and struggle to express their opinions healthily.
Cain killed Abel because he didn’t master his anger. That’s what happens when we don’t deal with hate: it grows into destruction.
But there’s a better way. We can accept and embrace differences without creating division. We can have a robust debate without allowing hate to control our emotions. We need families, teachers, churches, and leaders who will create environments for honest discourse instead of toxic division.
Change doesn’t start in politics or in the media; it begins in the heart. My heart. Your heart. Each of us must choose: will I let bitterness and hate rule me, or will I take it to the cross, where Jesus already defeated it? That’s the only path to healing.
Hate isn’t just an emotion, it’s a spirit!! And it must be bound!!! As believers, we don’t fight hate with more hate; we fight back with love and with the authority Jesus gave us in prayer and action.
And here’s our evidence: Luke 6:27–28 (KJV) "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."
Even in these tragedies, God can bring triumph. Even in loss, He can bring redemption. The cross is where hate ends. Love is where healing begins.
