You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.” (Malachi 2:17)Nobody is sinless, least of all me. But we have an obligation as the Church, ambassadors for Christ, to present God's whole truth to the world. When we "unsin" what God calls sin, as we have and do in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we fail our responsibilities to God, we become faithless, and we wander into error. May God set us right!
I'm a sinner, no better than any other human being. I have no personal bragging rights. My only boast is that, in spite of my many sins and my numerous faults, through God's grace, given in Jesus Christ, my sins are forgiven and I have a new life.
