UNWANTED MESSAGE 4

II Chronicles 18:6-7 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him? (7) And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

We see from our scripture that Ahab didn't want to hear the truth. Ahab had Micah thrown in prison for speaking the truth but before the end of the day Ahab was dead!

Laws are being passed in our country today called "Hate Crime" bills that could possibly land preachers in jail for speaking out against sin and false religions. It angers me that anyone could consider preaching against such things an act of hate. They are not acts of hate anymore than a doctor speaking out against a devastating disease. It is not the patient the doctor is against. It is the disease.

I know that I can speak for most Bible believing preachers when I say it is not the sinner we hate, it is the sin that destroys the sinner that we are against.

Remember that we are all going to die. Maybe not before the end of the day, but someday we are all going to die. We had better listen to the message of salvation because we are all going to face the judgment also.

If any of this offended you, you had better take a close look at your life in the Light of God's Word.
