Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more

Sin

As humans, we tend to take the truth of God and wrap it around what we are comfortable with, thereby ending up with a comfortable untruth. There was a little boy explaining things to his younger sister. He said, “Jesus’ job was to die for us because we sin. Our job is to sin to make His death ...read more
