Blake Robert Templeton uses the image of a serial killer at your dinner table to argue you should cut ties with toxic people entirely. He urges listeners to sever connections with evil influences and cultivate hatred toward wrongdoing as a source of moral strength.
There's a traitor in the house. At your own physical house, there's literally a serial killer inside your house, and you feed him and you give him a bed, and you're like, man, we don't have much space here, but you're welcome. Like, you can eat with us at the dinner table. And you're like, I know he's probably going to kill my wife or my daughter or whatever sooner or later, but you're welcome here. And your wife's like, Wait, what? Who is this? He's a serial killer? Like, nah, it's gonna be fine. Like, it doesn't make any sense, right? It makes no sense. And so that's why severing the actual flesh, cutting ties and saying, I'm not of it anymore, I actually hate it, I despise it, I'm not a part of it, I will not be a part of it. And we do that with the hatred of evil, boiling point of hatred, creating this fire within us of a mighty man.
