We give sin respectable titles

We give sin respectable titles. Adultery is an affair. Fornication is a cohabiting. Profanity is mature language. Sexual immorality is sexual preference. Abortion is termination of pregnancy. Pornography is adult entertainment. Drunkenness is getting high. Lying is an indiscretion. Greed is the good life. We use all sorts of euphemisms to describe sin. But you don’t change the lethal nature of poison by putting a new label on the bottle. The Bible warns us that the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). The best (and only) way to deal with sin is to turn to Jesus.
