Has the meaning of sin been lost?

I think everything exploded that could since the new year so is has been a while since I have posted anything. I found this article in the USAToday and thought i would post it for comments. The author interviewed three of my favorite evangelicals with Mohler, Driscoll, and Keller. I love what Time Keller from Redeemer Church says about the need to “re-brand the word sin.” I so agree with him that many “Christian” words have lost their original meaning and need to be reset for our current audience. To say that someone has sinned, needs to repent of their sins, and receive forgiveness of their sins and receive eternal life  doesn’t mean the same to someone inside the church as outside. It is our job inside the church to use whatever tools necessary to present this good news in a clear, current, relevant way to those outside the church. Not to yell in the rain the words that no one understands as loud as we can for as long as we can.

So what does that mean for you and me? It means that we should make every attempt to make sure that we are clearly understood as we present the Good News Jesus. 1 Corinthians 9:22
