00:00:00.840 This week I heard multiple Republican and even Christian Senators and media personalities say out loud,
00:00:07.060 we need peace and unity in this nation.
00:00:16.340 But how can there be peace with those who burn our churches?
00:00:19.840 How can there be peace with those who mutilate our children and sodomize our town and assassinate our people?
00:00:26.220 How can there be peace?
00:00:30.000 Our leaders are calling for peacekeeping as if the majority of the left is some kind of largely reasonable peace-seeking group
00:00:38.500 ready for conversations to unite under our very much shared values.
00:00:45.940 The problem is this.
00:00:48.200 This week, the left exposed themselves.
00:00:53.100 They exposed themselves.
00:00:56.380 The assassin was not some lone radical.
00:01:00.000 this outlier
00:01:02.840 while the remaining liberals
00:01:05.700 on the left are some
00:01:07.560 just they're more moderate
00:01:10.360 tens of thousands openly mocked
00:01:16.100 Charlie Kirk's murder
00:01:17.120 some even creating posters of him
00:01:20.280 with a picture and illustration of a bullet hole in his neck
00:01:23.740 freedom shirts were sold on Amazon
00:01:28.040 with bloodstains on them
00:01:30.780 3D printed figurines with blood pouring out of his neck were made.
00:01:37.240 Hundreds of thousands of people applauded these posts and videos on social media.
00:01:45.360 One post with 587,000 likes as of Friday night featured a woman clapping.
00:01:59.780 And it said, Charlie Kirk's daughter is going to grow up without a father who thinks women should keep their rapist's baby.
00:02:07.860 Another account posted, can Erica please be next? 0.70
00:02:14.160 Then the two children can be placed with foster parents who will have them properly educated in growing up hating their own parents.
00:02:22.780 Last night, with over 137,000 likes, a post said of Erica,
00:02:27.740 I'm glad she's speaking so everyone can stop pitying this woman 0.97
00:02:32.320 Because unsurprisingly, she's a witch too 0.87
00:02:36.820 What we're learning is that it's not the radical left 0.95
00:02:43.460 It's just the left
00:02:47.940 We used to dismiss their rhetoric as exaggerated emotion
00:02:53.700 Maybe it's some sort of hyperbolic language
00:02:58.380 They can't possibly mean what they say, right?
00:03:04.460 No
00:03:05.140 They mean every single word
00:03:08.920 G.K. Chesterton once said
00:03:12.280 The modern man will not burn you for holding an opposing opinion
00:03:17.620 He will merely sneer at you
00:03:20.400 but if that modern man had lived in an age without law
00:03:24.640 he would have burned you and quite cheerfully
00:03:27.700 since most christians hold the same convictions of charlie kirk
00:03:33.660 his death exposes this kind of sobering truth
00:03:40.720 that people are willing to kill you for what you believe
00:03:44.900 if they're willing to kill charlie i believe that plus more
00:03:48.940 it's not just one lone assassin it's hundreds of thousands who would do the same to you
00:04:00.920 and laugh at your death if it weren't restrained by law
00:04:05.000 we have two rival cultures in our country right now two rival cultures or should i say
00:04:17.700 two rival religions, Christian and pagan.
00:04:23.900 The question I have for the American church is this.
00:04:28.020 Can light have fellowship with darkness?
00:04:32.720 Can conservatives have fellowship with liberals?
00:04:36.100 Can the left unite with the right?
00:04:41.440 One Christian commentator said this week,
00:04:44.020 How do you fix a country where millions of people on one side want the other side dead?
00:04:52.420 One Christian historian said,
00:04:55.300 When two groups hold opposing core values that violate one another,
00:05:00.600 history shows it never ends in coexistence.
00:05:03.820 It ends in separation or war.
00:05:06.780 ecclesiastes 3.8 tells us there is a time to love and a time to hate
00:05:16.520 a time for war and a time for peace
00:05:21.260 what time is it
00:05:24.960 what time is it
00:05:29.760 is it a time for peace as senator katie boyd brit has called for
00:05:36.280 Is peace and love possible under our current national circumstances?
00:05:45.560 We called for peace.
00:05:47.540 They burned our cities.
00:05:49.520 We called for peace.
00:05:51.240 They tore down our monuments.
00:05:53.040 We called for peace.
00:05:54.920 They shot Trump.
00:05:56.620 We called for peace.
00:05:57.900 They burned down our churches.
00:05:59.620 We called for peace.
00:06:00.980 They shot Charlie Kirk.
00:06:06.280 personally, and I say this with great sorrow,
00:06:10.360 I do not believe it's a time for peace
00:06:13.020 or love.
00:06:17.380 I believe it's a time for righteous hate
00:06:19.700 and holy war.
00:06:22.740 And I want to qualify that statement.
00:06:27.140 Psalm 139, 21-22 says,
00:06:30.660 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
00:06:33.600 And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
00:06:36.280 I hate them with a complete hatred.
00:06:38.440 I count them as my enemies. 0.84
00:06:41.480 Not a lot of pastors have shared that passage.
00:06:47.800 One man said this week,
00:06:49.480 people deny a time for war because they are afraid.
00:06:55.060 They are like a man who in a confrontation thinks,
00:06:57.860 maybe if I deescalate, he won't hit me.
00:07:02.260 But we have learned over and over again
00:07:04.220 that he does hit, and he hits hard.
00:07:08.900 If they say that you will have no fight with them,
00:07:15.340 they will feast, and they will begin to kill more and take more, end quote.
00:07:22.120 In other words, peacemaking often comes through conflict.
00:07:28.220 C.J. Engel said this week,
00:07:30.140 Most people don't understand the political and social costs
00:07:32.780 of what it requires to restore order in America, end quote.
00:07:37.880 I think he's correct.
00:07:40.500 But as a pastor, I don't need to concern myself
00:07:45.120 with the political and social aspects directly.
00:07:49.300 What I do need to concern myself with is how Christians ought to behave 0.58
00:07:53.060 in what I would call a wartime culture. 1.00
00:07:56.960 A wartime culture.
00:07:58.820 So how do you hate without sin?
00:08:05.460 How do you war without breaking God's law?
00:08:10.260 What can you do beyond what you're doing?
00:08:14.340 That's the question across social media today.
