Just wanted to pass along that I have another article up on Relevant today: “Is Sin Really a Big Deal?” An excerpt:
Begrudgingly, I had decided to wear a helmet―I had made a promise―and I was now testing the veracity of the helmet’s structure. In hindsight, attempting to ride my bike in-between a sign post and a telephone pole while at full speed, in the highest gear, was an immensely stupid decision. My foot clipped the sign post, my front tire jerked sideways, and I was falling and sliding along the bike path.
And I just got up and dusted myself off. What could have seriously injured me ended up being nothing more than a bruised toe. It felt like I had cheated death.
Sin is like that. It’s like doing something you know should kill you, hurt you, destroy you or harm you, but it doesn’t. Not always, anyway. Many times, you can just get up and dust yourself off. Worse, you can keep on going with your life and pretend your sin never happened.
