Have you ever committed a sin? For instance, have you ever told a lie? Ever stolen anything, regardless of its value? Ever used the Lord's Name in vain? Ever looked at another (other than your spouse) with lust? If so, then you're just as guilty of breaking God's law as Matt and his ex-girlfriend are.

If you have a Bible, read John chapter 8, verses 1-11. It's a beautiful picture of God's grace, mercy and restoration. It also reminds me that before I go and vent my "moral outrage" over somebody else's acts, I had better make sure that my own house is in order. A wise person once said that our sin looks worst when somebody else is wearing it.

As I said before, I am not condoning having children outside of marriage. My goal would not be to heap condemnation and scorn on these people. My goal would be to point them to the Lord Jesus, that they might find His mercy and grace as I have.

No one is going to bully me into not speaking my mind. Bye bye.
