It's a sin and a shame

The Oxford's new dictionary aimed at children has taken out words such as sin and added words like blog and MP3 player. While I understand the need to keep up with the times, the words they took out were of eternal value. (Read the story: here) Baudelaire wisely noted that: "the devil's best trick was to convince us he doesn't exist". This broken fallen world is increasingly becoming more corrupt and evil and we sit idly by. I pray more people's eyes will be opened to God's love. It is only through living a life of obedience that we can truly thrive. Sin has consequences.
Take for example Sabbath rest. This is a commandment, but it is for our benefit. It is a gift to us so we are not overworked.
