Why are we experiencing such an epidemic of open – and not-so-open –
sin in the church today?… [Because] we have promoted a “gospel” that
says it is possible to be a Christian while stubbornly refusing to
address practices or behaviors we know are sinful. We have accepted the
philosophy that it’s OK for Christians to look, think, act, and talk
like the world. We have made it an offense to admonish people about
their sin, either privately or, when necessary, publicly. If only we
were as loath to commit sin as we are to confront it!
