Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 19, 2021

Are you more likely to be friendly toward someone at church who is attractive than someone who is repulsive in some way? Do you look with more favor on wealthy people than homeless people? This passage teaches us how to look at people the way God looks at them.

For whatever reason, there are certain sins that we are all very aware of, and there are ...read more
