This is what I heard today.

Do you love the drug addict, the alcoholic, the prostitute, the sexually deviant, the self-righteous Christian, the liberal, the conservative?

I do, says the Lord. 

I love them each one and died that they might have life. But your “Christian” condemnation is a barrier that keeps them from the love and mercy that can help them become whole.

Humble yourself: Come to me and I will cleanse your self-righteous heart and wash away all the pride, fear and anger that stands in the way of all those who need you to love them so they can come to me.
