I read yesterday that a Christian musician I listened to a few years back is in a homosexual relationship. What’s more, this person apparently finds this relationship in accordance with Christianity – despite the Bible’s clear statements against it. Oh the deception of sin! I find myself wondering if this person is simply trying to justify (excuse) their sin that they find desirable, or have they really come to believe that it is not sin – have they become blind to their sin. I suppose it would be easy for many to judge this individual, but this entire thing brings two questions to my mind.
Are there sins that I enjoy and seek to justify or excuse?
Are there sins in my own life to which I am blind?
