Is sin about using our intelligence in ways that distort the Truth, or is it about not using our intelligence to form our conscience? I am suggesting we drop Truth from the conversation and focus on a more manageable process of prayer, discernment and contemplation. Self-improvement has become an art form. From physical training, to yoga, to therapy or prosperity consciousness, it’s all about making our free choices with targeted results centered on individuals and what’s best for them. By its very definition, Christian morality is about the horizonal relationship we have with others based on the vertical relationship we have with Christ Jesus. Once again, the psychological aspect of freedom has collided with the spiritual facet of liberty. Freedom being the choices made in circumstances, times, places and events to fulfill expectations, and liberty being in complete control of everything we say and do. Once the confusion and conflict have been resolved by surrendering the ego to Christ for His will, purpose and fulfillment, sin cannot enter. If it does, then the psychological process begins. We recognize, experience and release the thoughts which are not consistent with Christ Jesus and we choose liberty over freedom.
