"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
Now I like some old proverbs, they have a lot of truth to them. But should we believe in guilt by association or do as Jesus did with prostitutes, sinners and tax collectors. Do we admonish someone yet still love them?
Does is really speak to someones character to have a working relationship with someone who was a criminal and still is not repentant. Or do we take that person on his word that he can work with someone who may be wrong in thought or idea and not have it influence his judgement.
What are we speaking to when we hold these issues up to scrutiny? Color of skin or content of character?
