Without clear external norms we end up with "LUV" not love; we end up with "nice people", not holy people

Who are we to say who is holy and who is not in the eyes of God? What makes you the mouthpiece of God and the judge in his stead?

Admittedly, I'm a nobody. I'm a sinner who needs God's mercy. I know my sinful heart and I can't judge other people's hearts--even when their actions are clearly sinful. So I pray, and will continue to pray every day for the conversion of sinners. Somebody prayed for me, now I must pray for others.
