There Are Two Things We Can Do With Hate

As the above title indicates, there are two things we can do with hate:

1) Destroy ...... As protesters and rioters are doing throughout our nation and around the world (here is the very opposite action).

OR

2) Get rid of the hate.

And how do we get rid of the hate? (see here).

By changing the thought process of men and women.

Note the phrase, "every thought" in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 and the phrase, "think on these things" in Philippians 4:8 (KJV).

Beloved, if we are willing to "bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) and "think" on the "things" listed that lead to moral excellence or "virtue" in Philippians 4:8 (KJV) (see commentary), we can get rid of the hatred that exists in our society.

However, the above mindset can only be brought about by habitual use or "constant practice" (see article). This goal can only be acquired by our society when we (1) get back to the Bible; (2) get back to God; (3) get back to moral sanity (see here). And this will only be brought about by a spiritual revival (see here). Lord, may it ever be so!
