Put Yourself in My Shoes, Please

I was listening to my brother preach and he mentioned someone who has gone back to drugs and is suicidal, and I thought if the church stopped preaching a message of lives of perfection and started preaching that we all fall and get back up (Proverbs 24:16) perhaps suicide wouldn't seem like the only way to deal with an ongoing issue like drugs.

Found a similar sentiment expressed in this blog post by Boz Tchividjian, Words Matter.

Oh, that everyone would stop and think about what they're saying before they say it!
