<<<Sermons can apply without mentioning day to day fights and politics. >>>

I am not suggesting that sermons address politics.

Sermons can be used to address the evils of hate without being political.

Sermons can be used to help people from being seduced by people promoting hate. Sermons should be able to connect people to what is happening in their daily lives. They can be taught the difference between love and hate.

Sermons teach respect for life yet if church members go out and advocate killing and pre-emptive war, the church must realise something is wrong and take some responsibility.
