John 8:7 When they kept on questioning him [Jesus], he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
I've got some questions on Gordon Brown's being caught on a live mic calling a voter a bigot:
1. Was Gordon Brown wrong to do this? - Yes.
2. Should he apologise to the nation? - Yes.
3. Is Gordon Brown the only party leader to have made such comments in private? - I can't believe he is.
4. Have the journalists presently crucifying Gordon Brown never spoken, in private, unkindly or in a rude and offensive way about someone? - What do you think?
5. Have you, and I, never come home from work, a church meeting, a chance encounter and complained long and loudly in very inappropriate ways? - I won't believe it if I'm the only one.
6. Will the two other, presumeably sinless, party leaders try to make much of Gordon Brown's failure in the debate this evening? - I can already imagine their smug faces as they try to convince us they have never done and would never do this.
Lord, open our eyes to our own sin. Lord, give us humility to deal with others when they fall. Lead us in paths of repentance to the place of forgiveness and renewal.
