Happy Wednesday, it's September 29th, and you're listening to The Pour Over.

Thanks for joining us.

Here's the quote of the day.

The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go,

God's love for us does not.

See us, Lewis.

Back in 2008, R&B singer R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges in a child pornography trial.

This week's remix sounded different.

Starting last month, a jury heard from 45 witnesses, including 11 of Kelly's accusers.

Prosecutors made the case that Kelly's entourage, who helped the singer meet and ferry girls around the country,

amounted to a criminal enterprise, and the jury agreed.

The three-time Grammy winner was found guilty of all nine charges brought against him,

running a criminal organization, racketeering, and eight counts of sex trafficking, including a minor.

Kelly, who still boasts 4.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify,

faces between 10 years and life in prison.

He'll be sentenced on May 4th.

Christians have a hard job, but we should celebrate justice and come alongside victims.

We do not have the privilege of letting guilty verdicts lessen our love for those convicted.

As they're equal apart from Christ, we are called to love everyone always.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 3.23-24.
