I was not aware of this song being used at the NYG but I find its lyrics to have the same weakness I mentioned in the post. Never have I said that because some Lutheran does something it is okay. We have our own errors, public ones, that we have to account for as well as those of Christianity in general to answer for...Pastor Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653554256101480140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-38089012972968054482013-08-05T09:36:11.798-05:002013-08-05T09:36:11.798-05:00Look for the log in our own eye, indeed!
