That Guy

July 13th, 2013 · No Comments

James 2:9 (New Living Translation)

But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.

Sunday morning that guy sat on the pew next to me. You know who that guy is:

  • he dresses funny
  • his hair is fixed funny
  • his cologne/shampoo/deodorant/toothpaste smells funny
  • he shakes hands funny
  • and, worst of all, he acts funny

Gosh. What a terrible hour sitting there with that guy next to me.

An hour later I read James 2:9. Ooooops, ouch, and lots of other single-word descriptors of how awful I felt. What a miserable person I am. Thanks be to God for grace.
