close

i've been listening to a lot of driscoll lately, and something he said got me thinking. he was talking about the questions he gets that you can text message in and he answers, and how they are often focused on how close the person can get to sin before they sin. "is this okay to do?", "but what if i'm doing it this way?" or "is it still sin if my heart is feeling like this?" though i know Christ fulfills the law everyday in my place, it seems that me and the people i know walk on the edge of this line of what is and isn't sin as well. mark driscoll said that we wonder how close we can get to sin when we should be seeing how close we can get to Jesus. obviously it spoke to me because i thought about it all day. i love it. we need to stop worrying about what is and what isn't a sin, and focusing on details, and trying to figure out if what paul said was only aimed at that culture, or if those things still apply....blah blah blah. just get close to Jesus. He overcame the world, He saved us, He wiped our sin away, He made us clean and new, He adopted us, He called us, He loves us, He is what we should be getting close to. where can sin be when we are in the embrace of our Rock? as far as the east is from the west.
