We have discussed the fallacies associated with secular

            perspectives.  Too  often,  this  worldly  view  either
            discounts  sin,  justifies  it,  or  worse,  it  encourages  and
            celebrates it.  “Race” related derivatives such as racism,

            violent behavior, placing blame on others for one’s own
            conduct, bearing a false witness against someone (such

            as  falsely  accusing  someone  of  racism)  speaking,  and
            thinking  contrary  to  the  Biblical  Truth  –  including  the

            sociological  view  of  “race”  versus  how  GOD  views
            humankind -  are in fact sinful in nature. Tragically, they

            all  align  those  who,  traffic  in  this  conduct  with  the
            enemy of our souls.


            We are commanded to love one another. This certainly
            does  not  include  overlooking  sin.    It  does  not  permit

            political  correctness  or  secular  humanistic  precepts
            designed to divide  people.  It commands  that we love

            the sinner but hate the sin. Since we love each other, we
            would not want to see anyone destroyed by knowingly

            or  unknowingly  abiding  in  sin.    Since  we  love  one
            another, we want all to know there is a way out.  That

            begins with speaking the truth about sin and the penalty
            for  sin,  which  is  death.  That  begins  with  lovingly,
            compassionately,  but  unapologetically  confronting

            secular perspectives regarding the human family. It may
            even  require  a  passionate  and  intense  level  of

            confrontation as exhibited by our LORD JESUS such as in
