TIM
Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central.
Research shows some humbling statistics: certain actions Christians recognize as sinful are no more or less prominent in those who ARE Christian than those who AREN’T Christian. No wonder we are often called hypocrites, and there may be some validity to that charge.
Jesus makes many sins very clear, but all too often we choose to focus on a specific sin when, if the passage is looked at in its entirety rather than specific words and phrases, we see a broader scope. Christians neglect the multiplicity of sins that are continual within the body of Christ. Now I see why many onlookers justifiably demand that we remove the log from our own eye before we point out the splinter in theirs.
Before we begin pointing fingers at others for their actions, perhaps we should take a quick glance in the mirror. Let us recognize that ALL sin displeases God. Remember that no sin is too difficult to be forgiven and overcome by the power of the cross. May we repent of our sins and seek to reach out with the love and the hope of Jesus Christ to all.
