From, "Whats so amazing about grace?" (Philip Yancey)
"Does the Christians' concern for morality drown out our message of God's love for sinners?"
....
"I think back to the prostitute's comment that originally prompted me to write this book. 'Church! Why would I ever go there? I was already feeling terrible about myself. They'd just make me feel worse!' And I think back to the life of Jesus, who attracted as if by reverse magnetism the most unsavory of characters, the moral outcasts. He came for the sinners, not the righteous. And when he was arrested it was not the notorious sinners of Palestine, but the moralists, who called for his death."
God has shown us grace, and we must too show grace and love to others...I think we as Christians often get caught up in telling people how they are doing it all wrong instead of showing them grace and love. You should read this book..."What's So Amazing About Grace," by Philip Yancey. It is a great read and definitely gets you thinking.
Thats all.
