Ouch…

I found some of those on-target quotes in Scott Williams’ blog, via everyone’s favorite Canadian

“Remember, after you say, ‘You can’t live in our community, you can’t teach in our school, you can’t come to our college, and you can’t be part of our church’ – after that you cannot say, ‘But we love you in the name of Jesus.'”

Could it be that we have totally missed the boat – and the point – when we do stuff like this?

We can accept without approving, we can become trusted friends without compromising our values and our witness, but we cannot offer God’s healing grace to a lost and hurting world without walking where they walk.
