“avoiding the appearance of evil”

 

There is a great article on Scot McKnight’s blog Jesus Creed by Chrissy Wright.  

Read it here

We seem to paint our definition of sin with a narrow brush.  It seems that sin has been reduced to what we can see.  Sin shows up there but as Chrissy points out sin also shows up in things unseen.  As Chrissy says following Jesus “ It is not an easy path. It is not a selfish path. It is not a comfortable path. It is not an orderly, all laid out, avoid these five things, do these three things, neat path.”  Chrissy finishes with, “It is a daily, creative, intentional adventure of learning how to love, learning how to sacrifice, and learning what it is to see His Kingdom come and His will be done.” Amen to that!

Peace,
