“Sin is non-existent” so no man ever. Truth is sin is a reality in our lives and there are few issues that divide progressives from historic Christianity more than the issue of sin. While we might say sin is an issue, today’s world does not want to call it that. We call it by other names: a mistake, a shortcoming, an error in judgment, a mess-up; anything but sin. We have glossed over that word to make it not sound so imposing and condemning. But no matter what kind of “spin” is put on the word, sin is still sin.
Here’s the reality: unless we are willing to call sin what it is, and unless we stop glossing over it and not making it sound so “offensive,” we will never be free of its grip on us. Romans 3:23 uses the word: “For all have sinned…” Not “all have made mistakes” or “all have had errors in judgment,” etc. In fact, for us to experience salvation we have to admit to sin. We are all fallen creatures. While I don’t believe in total depravity, I do believe we are born with a sin nature which soon manifests itself in all of us.
I’m continuing my series on Truth Decay with this sermon entitled Sin is Still Sin. I hope you will join me in person or via live stream. We have two services at 9 and10:45 but if you are unable to watch it then you can watch it later on YouTube or the church’s FB page. If you can’t be there, please pray for me, for us. Thanks.
No matter how hard the world tries to “cancel” sin, it’s impossible. Looking forward to your sermon, Bill.
Blessings!
So right Martha. That is the one thing the cancel culture can’t touch.
I have stopped reading about cancel culture because it makes me so mad. I know God will use the Word I have put in my heart to show me the work of the devil. Keep putting truth out there brother.
It makes me angry also Betty but I have to know what I believe, how the culture matches up to the Bible and what I need to say from the pulpit. I will, Lord willing, continue putting out truth. Thanks for the encouragement.
