Quote of the Week On Sin

I’m back from traveling and getting back to my routine. So here we go. Here is my quote of the week from my book. It’s on my chapter on sin. Not a pretty subject. But if you are going to talk about the Christian faith, you’ll have to discuss sin:

“We’ve all been there. Maybe it’s tax season in a tough year, and we consider fudging the numbers a little. Or we’re preparing a résumé to apply for a desperately needed job, and we’re tempted to exaggerate some qualifications and stretch our experience a little. Not lies, of course— just a little creativity with the truth.
    These moments reveal something about my character that I try to ignore. Some call it their bad sides, or alter egos. Dr. Jekyll called it Mr. Hyde. I just can’t understand why I’m so easy to convince when it comes to doing something wrong. Bad habits catch on so much quicker than good ones. What’s with that? I hate it, and I hate myself for it.”
