TIM

Hello, I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central. This morning, I’m here to tell you that we are ALL equal in the eyes of God.

In the book of James, we are told to not show partiality as we hold faith in Christ.

Chapter 2 says, “For if a man wearing fine clothing comes into your assembly and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, but you pay attention to the one wearing fine clothing…[then] have you not made distinctions among yourselves?...For God has chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith.”

By our faith, we are made equal to each other in His eyes.

We forget that we are all sinners together...and we are all loved by God...and have been offered the same prevenient grace as those “other people”.

They will know we are Christians by our LOVE.

Perhaps, we can use this message from James to affect the way we interact with all those around us.
