We all need reconciliation to God but it is odd that we sometimes draw distinctions. I've actually heard some Christians in biological families talk down to singles, single parents, and stepfamilies as if their biological family somehow makes them more worthy of Christ's loving sacrifice. Really? You think there are first-class Christians and second-class Christians? Listen, there are only sinners who need a Savior. So let's all hold our heads up for if we are in Christ we are all forgiven.
