I'm remembering a discussion me and my friend Mitch had over the summer. He was tellin me about this guy who was arrested and convicted of child molestation about 10 years ago. There was a prision ministry that ministered to him and he was saved and eventually released. He is a strong Christian deeply saddened by his guilt. The state of washington on the other hand bars him from being in any location with kids for an extended period of time. For this the local church where he resides does not let him come to participate in worship, and it seems that the state is really keeping him from fulfilling Hebrews 10:25.
Should we as a church be the first to welcome him in with open arms, and should we appeal to the state on his behalf. Would you want an ex-child molestor sittin in the pew next to you, singing praise to Jesus? Tell me your thoughts.
