== Friday, Aug 16: Sin ==
We discussed the Father and the implications of both a living God and a God who is "Our Father." It's stunning to even think about.
Yet, very little do we think about our relationship with the Father -- if we did, we wouldn't sin, now would we?
Would you, for example, do ''that'' in front of God? Uhh, yes already are doing that in front of the Father, we're just pretending he's not there.
When I was little, I had a strange notion that I was being watched every minute of the day. I never recall being comforted by the thought, but I do distinctly recall growing into the notion that it'd be really embarrassing if someone were actually watching me all day. From there, I just forgot about it. Much easier that way.
To ask people what is “sin” is to enter the fascinating world of self-justification and rationalization. Have you ever defined “sin” yourself?
