“and that sinners need mercy (Matt. 9:9–13; 11:19; Luke 7:39; 19:7). The rules that are intended to make us pure are essentially designed to try to keep us apart from sinful people, and to keep our children apart from sinful children or children from sinful homes. We teach our children to be undefiled and separate rather than to show mercy—then, when they grow up, we wonder why they find evangelism to be so difficult.”

“While none of us will ever speak to anyone with Jesus’ full knowledge of people, we are to pray for the gift of discernment; and we are to give ourselves to the task of loving people well enough that we will desire to get to know them and so be able to speak with wisdom to their struggles, hurts, weaknesses, failings, and needs.”

“Scripture requires that true worship and faithful teaching are to focus on dealing with the sins of the church and believers, instead of the sins of those outside the church, in the world.

We do not see Jesus condemning the sinners in the world; rather, he condemns the leaders of God’s people with his severest words.”
