Excerpt from CULTURE WATCH.
Yes We Should Hate Evil!
Real love always discriminates between right and wrong, good and evil:
Plenty of Christians love to talk about love – and rightly so. It is a major attribute of God and is a major fruit of the Spirit, to be found in the lives of all Christians. But Scriptural love is not any old sort of love. This is not a mushy, sentimental and content-less love. This is not love as the world understands it. Biblical love is radically different. It is much firmer and much more solid than the ephemeral and saccharine sweet version of love that worldlings and unbiblical believers run with. Among other things, biblical love is always discriminating. Thus nothing could be further from the truth when people claim that “love does not discriminate.” Of course it does. It is NOT biblical love if it does not discriminate. Genuine love always entails willing the highest good of the other person. That requires discrimination. Thus the opposite of love is indifference. If you do not care about the other person, and do not mind them going down the tubes in their sinful condition, then you are not showing biblical love.
LOVE ACTUALLY.
