    Sin in a Christian’s life is not just serious – it is controversial for some. We are looking at the teaching that says a Christian in wilful sin is cut off. We consider a sin unto death, conviction, repentance, guilt, restoration, the shepherd’s rod and staff, and Satan’s continuing accusations.
