Immoral people.

1 Corinthians 5:9-10, I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world.

One of my teachers reminds us that we are to love one another. Even when someone is caught up in a sinful lifestyle, even though we may not be able to love him as a brother, we can still show the love God had for the world when He sent us His son. In the worst case, we may be called to love them as our enemies, even as He did "in order that we may be sons of our Father who is in heaven, and causes the sun to shine and the rain to fall on evil and good."

Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, for it is not by our own power and might, but by Your Spirit that we can reach out to those who do not know You.
