Sin Is Not Fun
RECEIVED Sat., Nov. 21, 2015
Dear Editor,
"Making the Most of EAST" [Arts & Culture, Nov. 20] was on target about some of the challenges and enjoyments of the unique experience that is EAST. However, the statement "And like any good Christian, don't forget how fun it is to sin" was an unnecessary comment that does not reflect EAST and is insulting, derogatory, and offensive to Christians who take their life with Christ seriously. Jesus paid a high price and died a horrific death to provide forgiveness for sin, and “good Christians” do not take His sacrifice lightly. Our commitment to our relationship with Christ gives us plenty of freedom to enjoy life without crossing the line into activity that is ultimately detrimental for us and displeasing to Him. Sin is not fun to “good Christians” who love Jesus – it is heartbreaking.
