It seems the issue should not be whether sin is going to be in the church, but how we deal with it. You are right about welcoming sinners. If not us, then that only leaves the world. Thanks Jim.

We have been dealing with sin at our church lately and I think some people forget that "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us". It seems that some want the sinner(s) to leave our church, but I am reminded that the bible tells us that Christ came to this earth for sinners, not the righteous! Where is a sinner going to turn if he/she is not welcome at a church? In Christ, Jim Thanks for this message Steve.
