God Pity The Preacher That The World Don't Hate

2nd Corinthians 6:14-18, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

A man criticized Pastor Steven Anderson and Dr. Jack Hyles today on facebook, horribly accusing them of being hateful men. Here is my response to him...

Kindly friend, you are accusing Dr. Jack Hyles, and Pastor Steven Anderson as being "one of the most hateful people." Both preachers have faithfully taken a firm stand against sin, and both are hated for it by the heathen world and carnal saints. They hated Jesus too, and He tells us why in 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟳:𝟳𝗯, “𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹.”

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘀 𝟭:𝟭𝟭, “𝗔 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗: 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.” “BALANCE” is the key word in my humble opinion. I believe as Christians we should never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. We see an imbalance in most churches today. Either there is love for sinners but no hard preaching against sin (which is not really love); or else there is unbiblical hatred for sinners and a woeful lack of love and compassion.

The Apostle Paul made it very clear in 1st Corinthians 13:1-8 that hard Bible preaching without God's love for sinners is ineffective. I agree with you that there is a woeful lack of love in many churches today, old and new IFB (Independent Fundamental Baptist) included. Jude 1:22 teaches that COMPASSION is the only remedy for some hardened sinners.

That being said, I love and admire Pastor Steven Anderson. I love the guy and praise God for his TOUGH LOVE preaching. No matter what Jesus said or did, the rotten Pharisees and Scribes (Jesus' enemies) criticized Him, finding fault in the Lord. Jesus said they'd do the same horrible things to us, that is, hate us (John 15:19). The wicked world love and protect their own, but crucify the Christian.

I don't agree with everything Brother Anderson says or does, and I'm sure he'd say the same thing about me. In fact, there is not a single preacher (dead or alive) with whom I agree with on everything. I give my Baptist brethren room to swim, so to speak. I don't like when people make groundless accusations like you just did. Why do you say that these preachers are hateful? Tell us friend, so we can have some context.

Pastor Anderson is tough, but we need tough preachers in these perilous times of rampant sin, rebellion against authority, sexual immorality in American culture, corrupt Bible colleges, gross wickedness, false prophets , fake Bibles and spiritually dead church pulpits.

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-1002) was often accused of being hateful and shallow by his enemies (and it hurt his feelings), but anyone who knew Brother Hyles personally appreciated his gentlemanly Texas hospitality, southern draw, loving disposition, uncommon concern for hurting sinners and a loving generous heart. Brother Hyles went out of his way to express God's love to people. 

When a waitress mistreated Dr. Hyles throughout his breakfast on morning in a restaurant, he overcame evil with good and left her a $10 tip. She said, “Mister, you forgot your money!” Brother Hyles said, “Don't they tip here?” She replied by admitting she had intentionally been unkind to him as a waitress. Brother Hyles expressed sympathy that he knew she likely had a husband and children to care for, financial bills and burdens to bear, and she did. She began to cry and shared her burdens with Brother Hyles and he kindly led her to Christ as her Savior. People just want to be loved.

Jesus overthrew the money-changer's tables and beat them with a handmade whip. If He did that today in 2025, Jesus would be in jail awaiting a court date for trespassing, vandalism, attempted murder, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. I'm not going to question God! The Lord called his enemies “vipers” and "children of the Devil." That really upset them! The Lord plainly called them "the blind leading the blind" into a pit. That's called TOUGH LOVE!

I learned a long time ago that as inherently sinful humans, people to choose to hear only what they want to hear, not the truth. In psychology it is called “Selective Listening.” When I listen to Dr. Hyles and Pastor Anderson, I hear Spirit-filled men of God who hate sin because they love the truth.

The opposite of truth is indifference. Many pastors today are cowards, indifferent, pusillanimous, Caspar Milquetoast, yuppie types. Either that or they're cold-hearted uncaring jerks, authoritarian types without love, arrogant and hateful of soul-winning churches and churches with bus ministries.

Pastor Steven Anderson hates evil, which God commands every believer to hate (Psalms 97:10). I love this needful sermon by Pastor Jack Hyles titled: "The Christian's Hate Life."

A Christian who does not hate sin, evil, lies and corruption cannot love God, truth, honesty and people. There is no plus without the minus. There is not good without the opportunity to to bad. There is no merit in love unless you know how to hate.

The Bible warns in 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝟯:𝟭𝟮-𝟭𝟯, “𝗬𝗲𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘅 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲, 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱.” Those two Bible verses go together. The Bible guarantees that Christians who LIVE GODLY LIVES for Jesus, WILL SUFFER PERSECUTION, and it's just going to get worse and worse as we come nearer and nearer to the end time.

There needs to be a balance! As Christians we should love everybody with Christ's love that compelled Him to die on a lonely cross for the sins of the world. Yet, as saints we should also hate sin and fight against it with tooth, foot and nail. The godliest preacher is the one who dearly loves people while preaching the hell out of them! Such a preacher will at times preach with tears in his eyes. I often saw tears flowing from Pastor Hyles' eyes as he preached the inspired Word of God in public.

I THANK GOD for preaching preachers! Let the heathen rage! We all need to stop criticizing Bible preachers who throw a fit from the pulpit against the Devil's crowd, and start lifting up holy hands. I am going to continue to stand with those preachers who TAKE A STAND.

That was my response to the man's foolish accusations against God's men. Dear reader, if you see fiery preachers like Pastor Steven Anderson, Dr. Jack Hyles and myself as being HATEFUL, then it is only because you've gone SOFT ON SIN!

We've got a serious problem in our religious institutions and churches today! As an example, the wicked dingleberry pastors at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) won't stand against anything. I've been banned in writing from attending their Campus Church (I live in West Pensacola). PCC's pastors and leaders are ungodly compromisers, puppets, cowards who are only concerned about raking in more money. PCC takes in about $170 million each year!

PCC preaches a counterfeit plan of salvation. SHAME! PCC is increasingly popular with the heathen neo-evangelical religious world because they refuse to live godly in Christ Jesus. PCC's carnal leaders are spiritually dead, woefully lacking in God's love for individual people, immature people. RUN from PCC and other calloused institutions today where the cult system always comes first, but individual people don't matter.

When I attended PCC's Campus Church for a few months in 2021, a long time 23-year staff member in his forties told me that PCC's leaders despise Pastor Steven Anderson. Why sure they do, because he's living godly in Christ Jesus and they're not. Those clowns at PCC are not worthy to shine Brother Anderson's shoes! 

“You're not going to raise the right kind of children unless you teach them to hate wrong and evil.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “The Christian's Hate Life”

We need to get back to Biblical Separation, which is the unforgotten Scriptural doctrine in churches today. It is wicked for pastor's wives to wear pants in public. It is wicked for pastors not to preach against women wearing pants. It is wicked for a pastor not to warn people about Satan's corrupt Bible versions. It is wicked for an ungodly pastor to bid Godspeed to infidels' Ken Ham, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, John Calvin and John Piper (2nd John 2:11). I'm preaching the Bible at you Family Baptist Church in Pensacola at 5454 W. Mobile Highway. GET RIGHT WITH GOD!!!

Right Doctrine Matters!

Right Moral Standards Matter!

HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE MATTERS!

God cares and so do I. I am A VOICE!
