It's Sad.
It's sad.
It's sad that we are fighting a spirit that places more value in rules than people.
It's sad that any measure of rule enforcement is permissable, with no regard for who get hurts.
It's sad that some of us have lost the ability to be empathetic and compassionate.
It's sad that we love our rules more than we love our God.
It's sad that we love our doctrines more than we love the Truth.
It's sad that we can have bitterness and hatred in our hearts and still feel justified simply because we have not committed murder.
It's sad that we focus on our looks more than our attitudes.
It's sad that humans are comforted by their own morality instead of the rest and peace Jesus paid for.
It's sad that we measure ourselves against each other instead of Jesus.
It's sad that we've replaced Jesus with our works.
It's sad.
