“The late Dr. Harry Ironside once said, “Beware lest we mistake our prejudices for our convictions.” To be sure, we must deplore wickedness, evil, and wrongdoing, but our commendable intolerance of sin too often develops into a deplorable intolerance of sinners. Jesus hates sin but loves the sinner.”
