Keller, Driscoll, and Sin in USAToday

Wednesday March 19, 2008   ~   2 Comments

Cathy Grossman writes:

[Keller on sin:] "Around here it means self-centeredness, the acorn from which it all grows. Individually, that means 'I live for myself, for my own glory and happiness, and I'll work for your happiness if it helps me.' Communally, self-centeredness is destroying peace and justice in the world, tearing the net of interwovenness, the fabric of humanity."

...[Driscoll] defines sin as "anything contrary to God's will. People assume the way they are is normal, not that something has gone terribly wrong, and this world is abnormal." Although his primary audience is newbie Christians, Driscoll is sharply clear: "Without an idea of sin, Easter is meaningless."

Sin= the lack of unconditional and total surrender to the Lordship of Christ.

By Adam Mabry on March 23, 2008 3:10 PM

I think that its interesting that, while both of these definitions are true, the way they define sin is deeply related to the community in which they are ministering. Keller to intelligencia and Driscoll to indie rockers in Seattle. Good stuff.
