Scientists are finding out that our minds are more “plastic” than we ever dreamed. They are finding that neural pathways can be changed resulting in minds being changed. Likewise, when Jesus commanded us to repent (literally, to change one’s mind), He was implying that the working out of our salvation is our responsibility, the giving of yourself a good life is your responsibility. Recent approaches to psychology are also encouraging the “changing of one’s mind,” by stepping away from one’s thoughts and by being more objective in accessing their usefulness to a life lived according to one’s values.

For many of us, we were raised in a spirituality in which sin-consciousness, and the battle against sin, was the epicenter. Because of our individual backgrounds, when we think about sin, we tend to make individualistic interpretations. Sin doesn’t affect our standing before God, in this view: we are loved, we are loved, we are loved. But it does get in the way of dancing well w/ God. Sin is not that big a deal compared to the mountain of God’s mercy and grace, but it will mess up your life.
 Also, sin-centric spirituality hasn’t helped us very much in developing the simple practice…the daily discipline…of repentance.

Next week, I want to talk about some specific aspects of sin we typically overlook
