“It is not hateful to say that an immoral action is sinful. On the contrary, the most compassionate thing we can do is help people to turn away from sin. To ignore another person's wrongful actions is a sign of apathy or indifference, while fraternal correction is motivated by love for that person's well-being, as can be seen by the fact that our Lord Jesus himself urged such correction. Indeed, the call to repentance is at the heart of the Gospel, as Jesus proclaimed, "The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the Good News" (Mark 1:15).” PeopleBelieveWellsHeartPersonsFactsHelpingHandsActionTurnsJesusCan DoSinLordNewsMarkContraryKingdomsWell BeingIndifferenceRepentanceMotivatedCompassionateApathyGood NewsImmoralRepentKingdom Of GodOur LordHatefulCorrectionsFraternal Author:Thomas J.

“If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny.

“Deep down in the Christian's life, always and all the time, there is to be a "no" to every demand that the flesh may make for recognition, and every demand that the flesh may make for approval, and every demand that the flesh may make for vindication. Always the Christian must bear about in his body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” MayBodyChristianJesusLordBearsDemandMarkFleshRecognitionApprovalDeep DownVindication Author:Alan Redpath
