I'll be continuing the Reading the Red series this coming Sunday with "A study in Scarlet, Part 1". In 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a book called "The Scarlet Letter" and I couldn't help recall that story when I read about the Samartian Woman in John Chapter 4. But Jesus had a very different approach to a wayward woman than did the Puritan's in Hawthorne's fiction. To this day, people caught up in a lifestyle they know is contrary to God's way are fearful that Christians will treat them in the same cruel fashion as Hawthorne's characters. But Jesus did something different - come out on Sunday and find out all about it with "A Study in Scarlet, Part 1.
