loving them? I do not believe so. Why do I say that? Because Jesus
loves us even when we disagree with Him--and He is our role-model.
Some people may be offended that I suggest they would disagree with
God. Before the offense sets in, consider: Sin is (as I understand
it, in its simplest definition) anything that is not in agreement
with God.
Is anyone without sin (except Jesus)? No. Then we all have been in
disagreement with God. And He still loves and accepts us.
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us go back and visit the
brothers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and
see how they are doing." Barnabas wanted to take John, also called
Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because
he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in
the work. They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted
company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose
Silas and left, com-mended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
