7 All who saw it began to complain, “He’s gone to stay with a sinful man.” (Luke 19:7 CSB)

A while back I wrote about the company we keep. Truly, we are judged by the company we keep, but that was more focused upon those we choose to “run with”. Those who we decide to call friends.

But God called us to be a light to a sinful world. So we may be led to rub elbows with those others see as destable. It is in our intent that God judges us.

Are we doing His will, answering His call, by ministering to the unsavory? Or are we deciding to change our lives by being around them? No, we are there to give them hope, to show them a better path and to provide some comfortable that they may not otherwise get in this world.
