Our Sin Is Offended...

I read a blog called "The Pursuit Blog" It is by a young Methodist in seminary and its purpose is to help its reader's "Pursue God". I recently read a post that struck me through the conscious. Here is an excerpt. for the full post follow the link at the bottom.

The truth hurts because your sin is offended. If you get rid of the sin you get rid of the offense.

This phrase sits heavy on my heart as of late. At the root of of this phrase lies a call to repentance. Repentance is a tough word that people refrain from using frequently. How many churches hear this word preached regularly? Christians by and large in America posses a low view of sin. We use a gradient scale for sin, always with “our” sin being on the low end of the badness spectrum. But to God, all sin remains detestable.
All sin is detestable to God…
…Lying, even the little ones…
…Lust, those seemingly harmless little fantasies…
…Pride, the skewed lens we see others and ourselves through…
…Inaction, the things you simply refuse to do out of laziness or fear…
…And the worst sin we commit in our culture today? The arrogance that our sins don’t matter.
