We must always work hard at the business living, in order to find joy in the business of living. You and I must be willing, ready, and able to say “God, I am ready to do the work, so God, you do the work in me. Then let him. If it is robbing you of your joy, let it go. Get rid of the garbage. Trust God. (Minister A. Eric Joseph, Grace Episcopal Church, West Farms)
There is an old adage that says, “Hate the sin and love the sinner,” but that is scripturally wrong; because in Biblical context, the right concept is to rebuke the sin and restore the sinner to righteousness, and the only way to do that is to let God be their righteous judge and very present help in a time of trouble. (Denise E. Matthew, Making Heart Decisions, Getting Heart Results)
