Partiality is a sin


After James 2:1-13
 

Partiality: the tendency

we share to judge

and arrange people

in hierarchies for reasons

of which are legion.

Partiality: A sin.

Heaven’s cafeteria 

contains no reserved 

tables; so, too, should

the church. So, too,

should each of us.

Anything short

of impartiality is

a sin, our sin. 

The widow and

the orphan are 

just as vital 

to God’s kingdom 

as the rich merchant.

A neighbor is

a neighbor. Love him.

We are each and all

made in the image

of God, and he has

no partiality.
