I say things all the time that offend a lot of different people, namely demons. I won’t be apologizing for any it. How many times do you think Christ “offended” the Pharisees?
There are no apologies in spiritual warfare. Is the enemy apologizing for banning you from the internet, brainwashing your kids, and subverting your country? Loving our enemies includes tough love and tough love is involved when the Truth is spoken boldly.
I will not stop speaking freely and I will not self-censor. This is why Christians get “stepped on for Jesus” as David Chilton would say. They cower to the world and the world’s standards. They ask the world for forgiveness and approval instead of yearning for the love, grace, and approval of Christ.
They shut their mouths and keep quiet like cowards, hoping the world doesn’t notice them and leaves them alone. This isn’t how Christians should live. We are not second class citizens in this fallen world. We are saved servants of the King and we need to start taking dominion for His Kingdom. We are commanded to speak the Truth boldly, to make disciples, and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s what I will be doing.
I am adding Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 [kjv]
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Thank you for the giggle today!
