Sin
What is sin? Is it only an act of disobedience? I guess this came to mind as I tackled the use of the active voice in writing rather than the passive voice. But then, I picked up John Owen's massive treatise, Overcoming Sin and Temptation, edited by Kapic and Taylor.
Somehow what I read brought me back to James 4:17: "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."
Ah, yes, omission is as much sin as commission.
So I repented (and repent) of that which I have left undone which I ought to have done, as well as that which I have done and ought to have left undone, and ask God to reveal to me all that exists in both categories that all may be dealt with, to His glory.
