Over the years, I have noticed that when it comes to my sin, I tend to think of it as no big deal. I tell myself that God knows I try and surely He understands all those things from childhood I am still working out, and for crying out loud, I am not perfect.

God knows I am not perfect. Even my wife knows that.

But what if my tendency to brush off sin as no big deal is a flaw, one that could lead me to make faulty assumptions about my relationship with God and my future? What if sin (and by that, I mean my sin or your sin) is a much bigger deal than we tend to think it is?

What then?
