How can any preacher evade the life-changing implications of today’s Gospel: “From that time on, Jesus began to proclaim, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand’”?
Look at the verses in Romans regarding this issue and see if you and I have managed to get through life without violating some of the things mentioned there. Then look at the verses about judging and see who you know who has managed to get through life without being judgmental. Then, you can cast some stones. Which isn’t to say that this is right, but that we aren’t about it.
