Honesty and integrity do matter. Character is important. Even though the vast majority of Americans approve of our president's job performance, the vast majority also reject him as a role model for their children. We must not sugarcoat sin. Not our own, not our children's, not even the president's.
Sin is sin.
Those who have experienced the grace of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ know that grace is impossible without the acknowledgment of their own sin. Before we experience the riches of God's grace, we experience the ugliness of our own sin. Each of us is a sinner, and those under grace should know that better than anyone. The reality of grace does not mean Christians are permissive. Christians obey, follow and emulate Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
