Keep Swatting Those Small Sins!
Christians must take the dangers of sin and going against God seriously, and understand that no human is perfect, the Rev. Billy Graham explains.
"Sin is like a deadly disease that touches everything we do and everything we are. Yes, you may be a good and moral person whose life isn't marred by obvious sins. But what about your inner thoughts and motives? What about your pride? What about the things you should be doing but fail to do — the people you ought to help, the person who needs a kind word, the person you ought to be praying for but don't?" the 97-year-old evangelical leader asks in a Q&A column for the My Answers section of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website.
Some Christians might be missing two major details about sin, an understanding of the depth of sin and the cost of sin, Graham asserts, citing 1 John 1:8: "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."
