I am a friend to my web visitors, even though some of them are enemies toward me. That is okay, I still love them all. Truth takes time to work in a person's heart. If you are one of the few people whose e-mail I have had to block out for being abusive, I still love you in the Lord. I don't block people out to be mean or vindictive, but simply because when someone no longer respects me I cannot help them. It is counterproductive. If I were to allow critics to tear me down, I wouldn't have kept going in my ministry all these years, because I would have become overwhelmed with discouragement. I don't have a secretary to filter hate mail. I have to protect my heart, because no one else is going to do it. Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” So I seek that one lost sheep who needs my help, and let the other 99 graze in the field by themselves. I have a tender heart and cannot handle hateful criticism. 2nd Corinthians 12:15, “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.”

Tall fences make good neighbours. I don't like to get too close to my web visitors or other preachers. I love helping others, but due to my own constant chronic neck pain, life's problems and burdens, I am unable to keep up with new e-mails at this time. One man in Scotland berated me last year for my support of Pastor Steven Anderson. The guy wrote to me in anger and said he could no longer walk in fellowship with me. He was a friend, so I thought. In anger he took down his website ministry at ChristianToolKit.com (it's gone) and I don't know what became of him. That makes me sad. I was the one who led him to Christ, influenced him to start his ministry website and I really admired the guy. But for my love and support of Pastor Anderson's ministry he rejected me. I love Pastors' Anderson and Roger Jimenez and stand by them against the filthy wicked homosexual community that is defiant against a holy God.

Kindly, sometimes standing for the truth is going to cost us acquaintances and even the loyalty of our family. I have had numerous web visitors write to me, telling me that their own family members are persecuting and rejecting them for their Christian faith. The Lord told us that this would happen. Matthew 10:36, “And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.” All you can do is love them unconditionally with God's love. There is so much hatred in the world. I am going to continue loving everyone with God's love, even if they don't return that love, or if they hate me or hurt me, and that includes family and other Christians. That is what Jesus taught for us to do.
