Ungodly Sympathy
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them". (Ephesians 5:11 NKJV) Just like sin and unrighteousness are natural characteristics of the unregenerated, it is expected that the lifestyle of the redeemed of the Lord represents a radiance of righteousness. Unfortunately, daily interaction with the system of this evil world is hardly engaged without intimate fellowship with its unfruitful works of darkness. Without a righteous defense by exposing every act of unrighteousness, dissociation from their call to fellowship will be impossible. Compassion for sinners is not the same as sympathy for their unrighteous activities.
