I am going to tell you about my friend James. He is now dead, a victim of gun violence.

3. Love the sinner, hate the sin...sometimes Christians get that wrong

A lot of people harp on the part that God is just, while forgetting that he said he delights in mercy. And no matter how little or how much one sins, none of us can be the final judge of anyone. It is often true that going down the path like James chose may lead to more trouble than one could have anticipated, but most of us can look back on bad choices we made in life. And if it weren't for the grace of God, we could have met with dire consequences ourselves.
