" My friend, we are all in need of God's forgiveness. And no matter how much we might delude ourselves into thinking we are sinless, we have all done things we know are wrong."
"Some of us more than others."
"Some actions will have consequences far more readily known than others may, but it does not change that fact that we have all done wrong. Not does it change that fact that God still holds out His olive branch to us, in hope that we will find the peace that is only found through Jesus Christ."
"But - "
"There is no buts, my friend. Even the worst sinner in the world can find forgiveness and reconciliation with God through Jesus.
