The problem with loving your enemies is they can be so unspeakably vile at times that it’s blinding. Thank God Twitter took action against this man. I feel an instinctive compassion toward the poor woman he hounded; toward him I feel a kind of rage past which it’s hard to think.
But when the smoke clears, I have to ask: if I am only trying to bless those for whom I instinctively have compassion, where is my reward? Do not the gentiles and the Pharisees do as much? Don’t mistake me: empathy for this man doesn’t mean excusing him. Not in the least.
Just the opposite. I am *more* glad to see his video taken down, not less, when I consider what that video represents for him in his life: the product of a miserable, directionless anguish. An act of misplaced rage for which, God willing, he will one day grow to feel ashamed.

people are hurling themselves into hell on earth before our very eyes.
“Anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged.” You don’t have to condemn people: they do a good enough job of that for themselves. Look to your own joy in heaven, which will be great—of which

you are perhaps already enjoying the foretastes this very day—and you may find to your surprise that by comparison you pity the sniveling, needy children who are already tasting the wages of their own self-deception. If so then you might ask: why? Why are people so lost that
they will believe in anything, even Antifa, if it will give them a purpose and a moral vision?
That is a problem that cannot be solved by anything other than real evangelism: the gritty, spit-in-the-dust, walk-on-the-earth, die-for-your-sins God who alone can offer for real

the exaltation of self-sacrifice and the fire of justice that BLM and the religious Left is now pitifully mimicking. Unless we understand this, we will surely not overcome the satanic uprising which, make no mistake, we are facing.
