#167 - Kyle Thompson // A Time to Love, and a Time to Hate

Ecclesiastes 3:8 teaches that for Christians, there is "a time to love and a time to hate," challenging us to align our hearts with what God loves and hates as part of authentic discipleship. • Scripture calls us to "let love be genuine" and "abhor what is evil" (Romans 12:9) • Modern culture has distorted biblical understanding of both love and hate • 1 John 4 reminds us that "God is love" and defines love through Christ's sacrifice • Jesus commanded us to love God with everything and our neighbors as ourselves • Christians are explicitly commanded to "hate evil" (Psalm 97:10) • Biblical hatred isn't personal malice but righteous alignment with God's character • True discipleship means loving what God loves and hating what God hates If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
