Maybe.

"Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." - James 4:17.

Maybe, instead of worrying only about the sinful things we shouldn't be doing, we should try putting more emphasis on the good things we could be doing, but are not.

Maybe, instead of looking only at those things that Jesus avoided, we should give equal notice to the things He embraced.

Maybe, instead of just trying to rid ourselves of indifference and hate, we should also try our best to fill up with things like grace and love.

Maybe,

just maybe,

the point of all this

is not

those people we're trying to be different from,

but

the person we're trying to be like.
