Labels Become Still Life Pictures That Never Change

Labels do nothing more than describe a static moment in someones life.  And they leave no room for the dynamic possibility of redemption, or hope, or change. We marginalize people by the way they live, by how much money they make, the music they listen to, their religion, and their skin color.  We have become far too comfortable accepting the unacceptable and viewing the world, our lives and ourselves in a defeatist way that directly competes with the passionate, joy-filled, and faith-driven people God desires us to be. 
So how is telling people they’re going to hell, putting people down, emphasizing someone else’s sin while minimizing our own, and telling others that God's grace covers me but not you - helping people find Jesus?
Here's the truth: We have all lived a lifestyle of sin; we are all born sinners....We all need Jesus!
Blessings,
