This may be the most difficult thing I have ever tried to write. It is difficult because the subject at hand is breaking my heart, but also because I have neither the writing skills nor the moral authority with which to write it. On a personal level, I feel a great dread for this world, and for all those preaching a message of ‘love’ without understanding that the ‘love’ they are preaching will lead to death. I fear for these people. It is a fear born of an agape love for each and every one of them. At the same time, I fear the Lord even more.

For there is a burning within me that cannot be quenched, and if I do not write, it will consume me.

I beg you, my dear reader, do not turn away from what God has told me to say to you. Continue reading “The ‘Love’ That Kills” →
