“Atrocities are now shown in 30-second bites. Hardcore artistic horror is an expression of hating your neighbour. The gruesome imagination feeds on vanity, lust, self-indulgence and despair, rather than the hope of the Holy Spirit. The Body of Christ needs to look and repent of our own fallenness.... Whatever arena Christians withdraw from goes to hell.” NeedsLooksSelfBodyChristianSpiritHateCultureChristImaginationChristianityHellExpressionHolyHorrorDespairLustVanityArtisticHoly SpiritBitesHate YouArenaRepentIndulgenceNeighbourAtrocitiesHardcoreSelf IndulgenceBody Of Christ Author:Calvin Seerveld
“How does God save His people from the pleasure of sin? The answer is, “By imparting to them a nature which hates evil and loves holiness.” This takes place when they are born again, so that actual salvation begins with regeneration. Of course it does; where else could it commence? Fallen man can neither perceive his desperate need of salvation, nor come to Christ for it, till he has been renewed by the Holy Spirit.” PeopleMenNeedsDoeHas BeensSpiritHateCoursesEvilChristBornSinAnswersPleasureHolyAnd LoveSalvationPerceiveFallenHoly SpiritDesperateHolinessBorn AgainRegeneration Author:Arthur W.

“Sin! Sin! Thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which God hates. And what wonder? Thou hast insulted His holy majesty; thou hast bereaved Him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the Son of His infinite love; thou hast vexed His gracious Spirit; thou hast defied His power; thou hast despised His grace; and in the body and blood of Jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot His matchless mercy. Surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.” IfsChildrenArtBodySpiritHateJesusSinCommonWonderGraceBloodFeetSonHolyMercyInfiniteHorribleBelovedMajestyHatefulGraciousDespisedBrethrenInsultedHorrible ThingsInfinite LoveCommon ThingsBlood Of Jesus Author:Thomas Guthrie
“As I started to read nonfiction in the mid '70s, I discovered, holy cow, there was a lot of imaginative nonfiction. Not the kind where people use composite characters and invented quotes. I hate that kind of nonfiction. But imaginative in the sense that good writing and unexpected structure and vivid reporting could be combined with presenting facts.” PeopleWritingKindCharacterFactsUseHateHolyI HateStructureUnexpectedCowsNonfictionImaginativeVividPresentingGood WritingComposites Author:David Quammen

“Although God loves us unconditionally, He does get angry at sin, wickedness and evil. But He is not an angry God. God hates sin, but He loves sinners!

“Religion is not a matter of God, church, holy cause, etc. These are but accessories. The source of religious preoccupation is in the self, or rather the rejection of the self. Dedication in the obverse side of self-rejection. Man alone is a religious animal because, as Montaigne points out, it is a malady confined to man, and not seen in any other creature, to hate and despise ourselves.” MenSelfMatterReligionHateCausesSidesChurchReligiousAnimalSourceHolyCreaturesRejectionEtcDespiseDedicationConfinedPreoccupationAccessoriesMalady Book:The Passionate State of Mind Source: The Passionate State of Mind
“Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying "I am saved" is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.” IfsMindHeartMayArtReasonSpiritHateBornReligiousPrayerPrayingHolyArt IsAnd LoveSavedTheeHoly SpiritRejoiceInwardAssuranceI PrayAssertionThoroughGodlinessBorn AgainNo LoveMind ChangingPresuming Author:Charles Spurgeon
