Public sin – The Largely Catechized Life #44


Sometimes ignoring a problem is the same thing as condoning it. Saying nothing sometimes says a lot. Still, there is a difference between public sin and humiliating sinners. We speak against sin, but not the people who are doing it. Right and wrong don’t depend on who’s doing it, but the word of God. By speaking against sin instead of sinners, we distinguish between the reasons Jesus died and the people He died for.
