LOVE WHAT GOD LOVES

From Pastor Troy...

You'll never love LIKE God loves, until you love WHAT God loves. Living within a personal "culture of compromise" will never produce a "heart towards holiness."

1 Peter 3:12 "The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil."

When compromise is seen as an acceptable standard, then judgment should be expected as a reasonable consequence.

Romans 9:13, "Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

Jacob valued and sought the "blessing" of his father (Isaac) - he "loved" the covenant (what God loves)

Esau valued and sought that which gratified the flesh (selling his birthright for a bowl of soup) - he "despised" the birthright (what Jesus died for)

Our "new" birthright through The Blood of Jesus is holiness and victory over sin (overcoming) and "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." (Psalm 51:17)

Love WHAT He loves or you'll never really love LIKE He loves.
