In this episode, Ken Shuman continues his teaching on loving our enemies from Matthew 23, and specifically on what it means to speak blessing over those who curse us. He explains that "speaking blessing" means speaking good words about a person, words of praise or blessing. At the same time - in a way that could be considered a contradiction if you don't look more closely - Christ denounces groups of people (not individuals) whose behavior is out of alignment with God's design. He does not address their theological or political beliefs, just the behaviors that can lead people away from the Kingdom. In summation, Ken states that Christ calls us to love our enemies by speaking blessing to those who are against us and by denouncing behaviors that are out of alignment with the way of Jesus.
