That's a good idea. A better one is to understand the literal application
before making the practical. You'll not be tempted to misapply something when the first things are first.
Everyone preaches on "taking up your cross" and "counting the cost" from Luke 14. That's good preaching when applied spiritually to believers today. There's really no question about that. The problem was the word "
hate", and I believe that a sound Bible answers to that question have been given sufficiently by now.
