Love rejoices in the truth, it doesn’t become speechless or try to ignore the truth or suppress the truth to maintain illegitimate power or corrupted influence.
Love and Truth go Hand-in-Hand
How are you supposed to love your enemies when you don’t have any enemies because you are scared to stand for the truth?
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, it rejoices in the truth! So if those that love truth are your enemies you are on the wrong side of love.
If the worldly-minded love you, you are not in the Christ that they crucified.

The only reason the church is irrelevant in our generation is because WE have forsaken our high calling to follow after sin, pride, and the workers of iniquity.
Make no mistake, WE will be held accountable for representing the gospel in our generation, not our elders.
This does NOT mean that we don’t submit to our elders but it does mean that we are responsible for our own obedience to God.
Psalm 100:5
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
If we really knew that the more we suffered with Christ, the more we reigned with Christ, we would not hesitate to suffer with Him or be embarrassed about it. We might even rejoice about it…
Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
2 Timothy 2:12
if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Repentance Preaching is not about being angry or negative. It’s about cutting all the way down to specific roots of iniquity and sin, uprooting them, and planting new seeds and growing specific new fruits of righteousness from the heart of God… For the benefit of God and all humans – in real life.
Matthew 3:10
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Spiritual News flash: if you work for or support or promote a worker of iniquity, you ARE a worker of iniquity. Do not be surprised when the Lord says: “Depart from me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity”
(Matthew 7)
God speaks clearly and repetitively thru the bible, thru your conscience, and thru people, so there will be no excuses at all.

Men that work so hard to suppress the truth in unrighteousness will soon find out that all the work they did was worthless and useless, and all the money they made in disobedience and oppression will literally burn them alive and eat their body.
James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
