Dear Fellow Preachers,
"Sin" is not a word one hears outside of the church very often these days, unless it's in the context of forbidden fruit ("Did you try one of those double-fudge brownies? They're really sinful..."). We think it's a concept that our culture could benefit from revisiting, as there are countless examples in the current scene of individuals not taking responsibility for their actions while blaming other people or outside forces, or attempting to dodge accountability by claiming that "everyone does it."
