Summary

Today we explore how Christians should respond to standpoint epistemology – the belief that knowledge and truth are determined by one's social position. We examine Psalm 97:10 which commands believers who love the Lord to hate evil. • Standpoint epistemology manifests in modern culture as critical race theory and "my truth" thinking • This ideology contradicts biblical truth by replacing God's objective Truth with subjective personal perspectives • God explicitly condemns showing partiality ...

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.4	This week, we're getting into the subject of hate, specifically hating evil,
0:24.4	and we're doing so as we dive into Psalm 97. So I'll read it now. It's called the Lord Reigns.
0:29.3	The Lord reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the many coastlines be glad. Clouds and thick darkness
0:34.5	are all around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
0:38.6	Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around.
0:41.8	His lightings light up the world.
0:43.3	The earth sees and trembles.
0:45.0	The mountains melt like wax before the Lord before the Lord of all the earth.
0:48.5	The heavens proclaim his righteousness and all the peoples see his glory.
0:52.5	All worshippers of images are put to shame,
0:54.8	who make their boast in worthless idols, worship him all you gods. Zion hears and is glad,
1:00.2	and the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, O Lord. For you, O Lord, are most high

1:18.8	Rejoicing the Lord, oh, you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name. And as we've done all week,
1:23.5	our main focus verse is verse 10. Again, it reads, oh, you who love the Lord, hate evil.
1:29.5	He preserves the lives of his saints. He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
1:33.2	And for this week, my thesis is that we as Christians don't hate evil nearly enough.
1:39.8	Yesterday, we talked about the evil of child abuse. Today we're going to talk about how Christians
1:44.3	don't hate the evil of standpoint epistemology enough. So for some and perhaps most of you,
1:50.7	you've never heard of standpoint epistemology before, at least as a term, right? But you'll
