In this episode, Pastor Ken teaches on the difference between compassion and mercy, and how they are two different things. God is a God of mercy, but so are we. The Bible teaches that when it comes to dealing out justice, you should not show favoritism to the rich, but also to the poor. The Old Testament says that you shall not pity the rich but also the poor, and that you should be compassionate toward them. But there are two kinds of compassion. One is righteous, and one is wicked.

00:00:30.000 hard men create soft times better times times of peace and then these soft times create soft men
00:00:37.580 and then soft men due to their softness their effeminacy their weakness they create hard times
00:00:44.280 israel is struggling with what i would consider to be the post-war mentality the post-war sentiment
00:00:52.440 we did this we did this war thing we did the conquest we're done we're done with it
00:01:00.960 we've seen atrocities we saw the barbarians of canaan i mean there were even giants
00:01:09.820 what we saw is some of them were cannibalistic
00:01:12.660 god we're done we fought the barbarians and we won and sure some of their children are still
00:01:21.680 alive and could grow up. But we've got time.
00:01:26.160 We don't need to run them down. We don't need to finish the job.
00:01:30.280 We're tired.
00:01:33.120 We're a little bit lazy, apathetic. And I do think
00:01:37.620 this is an element. And, well, we just
00:01:41.680 were merciful. Right?
00:01:45.400 DEI, man. Israel's, you know, DEI policy. Diversity.
00:01:49.860 equity, inclusion.
00:01:52.500 We're cutting edge for our time, Yahweh.
00:01:54.600 I mean, we want to, you know,
00:01:56.060 you're a God of mercy
00:01:56.900 and we want to be merciful too.
00:01:59.940 And so we're going to tolerate.
00:02:02.420 We're going to include.
00:02:04.460 We're going to carve out space.
00:02:07.740 And we're going to have
00:02:08.500 a neutral public square.
00:02:10.860 Seems Christ-like,
00:02:12.820 compassionate.
00:02:14.400 And principle pluralism, Yahweh.
00:02:17.780 Classical liberalism, Yahweh.
00:02:19.660 just a little bit of polytheism just a sprinkle just a sprinkle of idolatry
00:02:29.240 but out of kindness and at the end of the day you know it's the thought that counts
00:02:35.180 it's the intention it's the motive as long as our hearts are in the right place
00:02:40.820 so yes apathy yeah maybe a little ptsd yeah fatigue and tired but also pity
00:02:49.880 and in biblical terms that word pity can go either way there are times when the bible says that god
00:02:58.340 pitied israel and it's righteous so there is a righteous form of pity there's a righteous kind
00:03:07.680 of pity, a compassion, a compassion that is genuinely compassionate. But there is also a type
00:03:16.300 of pity that is wicked, that is misguided, that's perverted. It is tweaked and twisted. It's pity
00:03:26.180 where there should not be pity. And the Bible talks about this. Think of Deuteronomy. Old Testament
00:03:31.600 law. It talks about when it comes to dealing out justice, your eyes shall not pity.
00:03:39.680 You should not show favoritism to the rich. And this is rehashed out by Jesus in the Sermon on
00:03:46.980 the Mount, also by the book of James. Somebody comes in with fine clothing, not necessarily
00:03:52.000 soft. It could be soft, but fine, rich clothing. You can discern this is a person of status, a
00:03:57.500 person of, I don't know, prestige, and you say, hey, come and sit in this nice seat, and then
00:04:04.100 somebody dressed in shabby clothing comes in, oh, you sit on the floor by my feet, right? So you
00:04:08.820 are not to show partiality in regards to favoring the rich, but that's not the only way the principle
00:04:14.800 applies. The principle applies across the board in both directions. The Old Testament says you
00:04:20.380 shall not pity, show favoritism to the rich, but also not pity the poor. So there is pity that
00:04:25.780 comes from god that that we might call mercy and it's righteous it has to do with compassion
00:04:34.040 but there's also pity that is sinful and twisted and tweaked perverse that is not compassion
00:04:41.500 but rather it's it's tolerance of wickedness it's tolerance of wickedness it's like the
00:04:52.720 difference between sympathy and empathy. Sympathy comes from the root word compassion.
00:04:59.280 Compassion lending towards love. A pure, genuine, authentic love. So real love is compassion. And
00:05:07.020 compassion, that's where we get sympathy from. Empathy, however, is not necessarily the same.
00:05:14.560 And I won't make a big debate out of the words because it depends how you use the word empathy
00:05:18.680 and blah, blah, blah, but a lot of the ways, I'll at least say this, a lot of the ways that the word
00:05:24.160 empathy has been used by our culture in the West today is what the Bible would describe as a sinful
00:05:32.480 pity. It's not sympathy, compassion, genuine love, but rather it's favoritism. It's discrimination.
00:05:42.340 it's i'm going to elevate this person not not because of anything uh that's objective or just
00:05:50.520 or fair but simply because i'm going to arbitrate between you know this person and that because i i
00:05:59.060 like this person they're poor or they're a minority and you know this person over there
00:06:04.980 they may be doing the right thing but it doesn't matter this is a woman this is a man this this
00:06:11.420 person's a minority ethnicity this person's white 0.59
00:06:14.480 this person's lgbt lmnop you know and this person's just traditional family it makes me sick 0.87
00:06:24.300 that's that's not righteous pity that's wicked pity and israel had some of that for their adversaries 0.89
00:06:41.420 We'll be right back. 0.80
