My pastor tweeted this last week. "The deluded: They think that by loudly claiming to love Christ they stifle the louder cry of their practice of not loving Christ's people."
When I read this, I immediately thought of the following:
Picture an ape. The "deluded" are similar to an ape in the fact that they scream "Look at me (fist pounding their chests) and at how much I love Christ." But like apes, they fling poo at those around them (and often in their own home) and their actions reveal that their heart DOES NOT love the Church and those in it, nor does it truly love Christ.
Don't be an ape.
If you are an ape, come to Christ, repent of your sin and start loving Christ's people as you should.
The principle in the following verse applies...
Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. (Eph 4:28 ESV)
