So I hope we can agree that this vies of hating someone and wishing them to hell because you think they are evil is SO off base it's not even funny! That is if you are a true follower of Jesus....
What do you think? Did you hear about this?
Hope you found this helpful!

P.S. Unfortunately as I searched for this story on the web I also found another pastor that gave the same sermon somewhere else. Is this 'hate' theme getting popular???

Thx Glidewell's!!!!
Ben, I also saw this in the news & could hardly believe what I was hearing...this message of hate from a "man of the cloth." Glad you spoke up.

This is my first visit to your blog, and when I read the title of your post I was a little nervous because I'm tired of Christians blasting Obama. Although I don't agree with all of his politics, I want to support and pray for him as the leader God has given us. I can't believe someone actually gave that sermon - I wonder what his congregation thought? Thanks for presenting a Biblical perspective.
