Sall a spade a spade. ( Romans 3 v 23 )

A minister I know rarely mentions sin,and objects to people preaching about it or its consequences, I heard him saying once,sin is mentioned in the Bible,of course that's were he would prefer to keep it,when I mentioned a certain practice was sinful,he replied ,that's your opinion, it certainly was  not his opinion.A psychiatrist wrote a book called,'Whatever became of sin?'.Selwyn Hughes writes,'The point he made was that behind many people's mental and emotional problems ( though by no means all)   tlie issues that were once called sin are now described in more euphemistic terms. This tampering with the labels adds clutter and confusion and leads to additional misunderstanding of just what sin is, and therefore the true remedy for sin- redemption and forgiveness- cannot be applied.'Let me remind you again that we live in a fallen sinful world,forget about what your sinful hearts tells you,or what society tells you,listen to what God's word says.It is time we stopped fudging the issuses,we need to call a spade a spade,and accept the fact that we are sinners,and we need Jesus the Saviour of sinners.
