Sparrow, you are awesome. As I was discussing this article with my student, the gravity of people asking the wrong question hit me. How long do we have to remind people that we are people, image bearers, all of us? My prayer is that this article helps my student, a future leader in one way or another, to remember to place his hand over his heart before he asks what he should "do." Blessings on you!
