What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action
I think that the bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. so i don't think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
Hate Pride Thinking
By our attitude, we decide to read, or not to read. by our attitude, we decide to try or give up. by our attitude, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we blame others. our attitude determines whether we tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail.

Sin is: before god, or with the conception of god, in despair not to will to be oneself, or in despair to will to be oneself. thus sin is intensified weakness or intensified defiance: sin is the intensification of despair. the emphasis is on before god, or with a conception of god; it is the conception of god that makes sin dialectically, ethically, and religiously what lawyers call 'aggravated' despair.

We hardly need to be reminded that we are living in an age of confusion - a lot of us have traded in our beliefs for bitterness and cynicism or for a heavy package of despair, or even a quivering portion of hysteria. opinions can be picked up cheap in the market place while such commodities as courage and fortitude and faith are in alarmingly short supply.

The celebrity thing, i mean, lindsay lohan - what's she for? i look at that and throw my hands up in despair.
