The Importance of Compassion in the Church

James is a pastor who does not show pity to Abraham and Rahab and the poor person who comes in but solidarity with the weak and the lowly. The last thing the world needs is more religious posers masquerading as ministers, he says. James recognizes this what is good news for junkies and cussing moms and sexually broken people and judgy church guys. Why why because God the father took his one and only son whom he loved up an ominous mountain and did not spare him of the sacrificedid not provide another lamb of scapegoat but made him the lamb the scapegoat  the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
