We should not live to the "letter of the law", ignoring what is ...without compassion. But we also don't have only compassion without direction.

We don't cry, "Intolerance!" while we become intolerant of those who attempt to preserve a standard they believe in.  We don't celebrate one freedom, while taking it away from another.  We have to be careful ...as we soon don't want to find ourselves free from the calling of God's Holy Spirit.
