Is evil actually (gulp) good?

WELP! (As my good friend Josh Rishell would say)
I guess I now have something to say ...

I fear that what is sin is no longer viewed as SIN, but instead it is viewed as "just the way we are." Which I know is true...we are ALL born with it and it is still present with us Christians as the Apostle Paul tells us many times over (Romans 7:18, Romans 8:3, Romans 8:8, Galatians 5:17, etc...).

The real issue I am having right now is that while I know I sin...I do not like my sin - I hate it! I hate that I do it - even though some of it is FUN. ALL of it is really WRONG!

Will someone PLEEEEEEEEASE tell me when I am sinning? That is the Body of Christ! Pray that I hear those people who will have the "set" enough to just TELL me! Pray that I hear them and ask God to help me make a change in my life. That is called accountability!

Sin is Sin and it is NOT okay and it is not good and we need one another to help us be sharp (Proverbs 27:17).

2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. (2) For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, (3) heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, (4) treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (5) having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. [ESV]
HOW ABOUT IT...?
