I often feel bad if I don't have activities planned for my children.<br /><br />Regarding your last paragraph - it's clear enough that most Christians have come a-long-way from those of old, who were willing to face persecutions and even martyrdom for clearly calling people to repent their sins. At first I misconstrued you as saying don't-be-polite with sinners, but you must clearly mean not being accepting or permissive of sin itself. I think this must be a purposeful delusion that's promoted, because of the constant propaganda of equating a sin and its actor as having the same identity.Nathanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531664498277638757noreply@blogger.com
