sin is...

there was much to glean from the sermons in the past two weeks. bravely bringing on the topic of sexual purity, pastor kenny shared an insightful quote on the definition of sin.

here's what Susanna Wesley (John Wesley's mother) had to say about what sin is:

Whatever weakens your reason,

impairs the tenderness of your conscience,

obscures your sense of God,

or takes away the relish of spiritual things;

in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind,

that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself.
