The District Church

And the scripture says that when the son is a long way off, the father saw him, and he had compassion on him. He suffered with him. He understood the challenges that he was facing. And so when the son gets up to the front porch, the father, instead of lecturing the son and yelling at the son and saying about how you didn't live up to the standard of what I set in this household, and you're not like the older son, and blah blah blah blah. No. He embraced him in his arms.
