6/1/12 Can We Learn?

Can we learn from a sinner?  Is it possible to learn from a Benjamin Franklin who was known to have multiple affairs and questionable beliefs?  Is it possible to learn from a Richard Nixon or even a Ghengis Kahn?  The answer would be absolutely yes.  If we waited to learn from perfect people we'd never learn.  So is it possible to learn from a Knox who even y his own statements exaggerated the case against women, and destroyed (or refused to stop the destruction of) statues and valuable art? 
If we can only learn from someone we agree with 100% we'll never learn. Part of loving our enemies is learning from them.

Prayer: Lord teach me from sinners and saints for all truth comes from you.
