The Anatomy of Sin

I've been churning up what will become a sermon, devotional, SS lesson, or blog series of some sort. Based in the Scripture accounts in the earliest chapters of Genesis leading to our own current lives. It revolves around the 3 basic premises of any sin:

1. SELFISHNESS - it always begins with the choice to honor ourselves


2. BLAME - we always do what we do because of someone else


3. DECEIT - when all else fails, we will lie about it

Not sure exactly where this is leading but it's clear there is truth to be explored.

What Theologian are you???

Just for fun I ran through this quiz. Not sure I liked all of the questions wording but I think all in all I would probably agree with the results. I am glad I was not a 100% match to anyone as I have yet to find a theologian that I have agreed with 100% of the time. Go ahead and give it a whirl.
