It seems that the subject of sin is not often mentioned these days. Even in sermons, preachers (side note: maybe that’s a generous term, as “preaching” has taken a backseat to “talks”, “discussions” and “group studies” in many churches) tend to generalize sin and make it vague enough as to not offend those listening, in an effort to “reach them” with a watered-down and ineffectual gospel that cannot accomplish its goal without genuine repentance.
