Who should be separated from God?  Some say or act as if people who look or act different are not welcome.  Many think that God doesn't want people with wrong beliefs or people who are really evil.  All of us at times think we're better than other people.  But God's Word condemns us all in our sin, no exceptions.  Amazingly, that same Word, from first page till last page, invites us all with no exceptions into God's family -- not because of who we are or what we've done, but solely and completely by the atoning life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  So we live with Christ's heart of welcoming love -- in us and through us toward all people!
