A Royal Foul
England's Prince William and his wife Kate attended a Cleveland Cavaliers game during their trip to the U.S. After the game, Cavalier's "King James" (or LeBron James as you may know him) met with them. But then James did the unthinkable—he put his arm around the future queen of England for a picture. "According to protocol in Britain, a commoner is not supposed to touch members of the royal family—even if it is an innocent gesture."
Possible Preaching Angle:
1) When relating with others, do we meet them on their terms or demand that they abide by our expectations for a relationship? Do we show care and respect for their beliefs or customs? 2) In contrast, believers can approach Jesus our “friend” with complete access, even though he is our Lord and God
