The Redemptive Vacuum
Love the sinner and hate the sin is overwhelmingly practiced in the church with a distinct and profound compromise on the love side, especially if the sin is one in which we are either not engaged presently, are committing secretly, or is an unapproved sin. Lying, speeding, hedonism, divorce, lust, greed, gluttony, judgmentalism, idolatry, self righteousness, legalism, and gossip are all on the approved sin list. Most churches have their own unapproved sin list which include homosexuality, non-tithing, abortion, apposing the pastor, and all kinds of liberalism.
The cross of Jesus is now a creed and has ceased to be a bleeding message with legs.
