This is Frank Henrich and a true story in my life. I was having
difficulty keeping from sinning and I told a friend. He arranged for me to meet with his pastor. A person I did not know.
When I arrived for the appointment we prayed and then the pastor immediately said, “You have forgot to hate sin!”
He was right! Two minutes later I walked out knowing what I had to do. Praise God for His word of correction to me. It was
then that I wrote the below poem to share with others in the same need. Even though this happened 35 years ago, I remember
it as if it were yesterday. Does it also apply to your life? Have you forgot to hate sin? .

It’s ok to hate sin,
In
fact we must
Or we will be miserable
In this mixed up world.
Hate you say, Oh No!
Hate is a bad, bad, bad.
Yet I say, yes, yes, yes,
Hate we must do.
For
only when we
Hate our sin weaknesses,
Will God give us
The power to conquer it.
In
Romans 12:9, Paul writes,
Let Love be genuine,
Hate what is evil,
Hold fast what
is good.
The trouble today
Is the church
Has forgot to hate sin
It
condones and is sick.
Does this apply
To the individual & culture?
Yes, for one corrupts
society
And the other individuals.
Can these two
Be separated, held apart?
No, it is a mistake
For one corrupts the other.
It is not the individual
We must hate,
But sinful conduct
In its many forms.
For Satan would devour us,
So be very watchful
Oh, church help us
Be a guiding light.
For he who would
Condone sinful acts
Let him be forewarned
He must learn to hate sin.

1 Peter 5:6-9: So humble yourselves under the mighty power
of God, and in his good time he will honor you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to
you. Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring
lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that
your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. NLT
A sermon on the mount medieval illustration or image is on this page. Satan attacks us, yes, devil attacks upon us will
prevent us from stopping hibitual sin for we will then condone sinful acts. Jesus say we must hate sin as I am so you hate
sin as you flee from Satan, yes flee from the devil resisting temptation.
