“It really is true the Lord's way is to love the sinner while condemning the sin. That is to say we continue to open our homes and our hearts and our arms to our children, but that need not be with approval of their lifestyle.

That course of action, which experience teaches, is almost certainly to lead both away from the Lord's way.” WayNeedsHeartMeanChildrenDoeHelpingHomeActionCoursesParentSinLordTeachArmsBiggerOur ChildrenErrorsLifestyleSinnerApprovalInappropriateCondemning Author:Lance B.
