Hate the Sin; Love the Sinners

To God our Father and His Son, Jesus the Christ. I also give thanks to The Monticello News staff . To God be the glory for all you’ve done for me.

Hate the sin, love the sinners. It’s homecoming for God’s prepared people—to God be the Glory. To the shepherd of this house and the members which make up one body of Jesus Christ because God’s word is food in a starving land—water in dry places, a shelter in the time of a storm, bridge over troubled water.

At a time like this we need Him to help us. We don’t need a car, house, money, but what we need now is love, sweet love. It’s the only thing the world is in need of, because God is love and when the storms come, when the wind blows, the only thing we will have is love sweet love from our sweet smelling savior, Christ Jesus.

You see some folks are just now knowing who their neighbor is. It was love, sweet love that let them know the second and greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself, but it took God riding on the ocean for some folks to know their neighbor. He had to clean house. I know I’m right because I, too, saw it on TV with my own eyes. The mighty hand of God bringing neighbor from next door, and from three blocks down the street, to meet for the first time from around every corner.

I just believe like Nineveh, God sent a Jonah down to Bahamas to preach the word repent—repent—or I will come to you with one foot riding on the ocean and one foot on the land and my mighty wind from my mouth and with my hands I will lay flat your land into wasteland and rubbish. Other nations will see you, but no one can help you; no one will be able to restore you again.

If you have your Bible, please stand and turn to the book of the epistle of Jude. Take three deep breaths. This is my Holy Bible. Holy mean Be ye holy for I am. Bible mean base instruction before leaving earth. I am what it says I am. I can do what it say I can do. I can find me and I can find you. My mind is alert; I can rightly divide the word of truth so I won’t be found naked and ashamed. This I pray in Jesus name.

The General Epistle of Jude v. 1-25. This letter is from Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James.

I am writing to all who are called to live in the love of God the Father and the care of Jesus Christ. May you and I receive more and more of God’s mercy, peace and love.

Dearly loved friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share.

But now I find that I must write something else, urging you to defend the truth of the good news. God gave this unchanging truth once for all time to His holy people. I say this because some godless people have wormed their way in among you, saying that God’s forgiveness allows us, me, you, to live immoral —mean bad; evil, not moral cheating on God’s commandments lives. The fate of such people was determined long ago for they have turned against our master and lord, Jesus Christ.

I must remind you, me, us and we know it well that even though the Lord rescued the whole nation of Israel from Egypt, but later destroyed every one of those who did not remain faithful. And I remind you me, us, of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority. God gave them, us, but left the place where they belonged.

God has kept them chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the day of judgment. And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion, meaning wrong or unhealthy form of something. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.

Yet when we were sinners, Jesus Christ died for us. We have false teachers who claim authority from their dreams, live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at the power of the glorious ones.

But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse Satan of blasphemy. But simply said, “The Lord rebuke you.” Remember that is a weapon the Lord gave all of us. Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus he said he would flee, but he will come back again.

So this took place when Michael was arguing with Satan about Moses’ body. But these people mock and curse the things they do not understand. Like animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and bring about their own destruction. How terrible it will be for them. For they follow the evil example of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they will do anything for money, and like Korah, they will perish because of their rebellion.

When these people join you in fellowship meals celebrating the love of the Lord, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you—reefs mean a part of a sail that can be folded up and tired down so that wind has less push against that just like the churches today we are become like reefs. They are shameless in the way they care only about themselves.

They are like clouds blowing over dry land without giving rain, and we are seeing that now when we look at promising much, but producing nothing. Look again at your fruit trees. They are like trees without fruit at harvest time. They are not only dead but doubly dead, for they have been [pulled out not up, out by the roots. You see sometimes when you pull something up you can leave a sprout and it can take root and start to grow again.

But the word says pull out by the roots so it can be not only dead, but doubly dad. Amen, Amen, Amen.
