Three Free Sins e-bog

';Hilarious, honest, and full of the hard-won wisdom...At its core is this truth: real change only happens when we realize God loves us whether we change or not.' Susan E. Isaacs, author of Angry Conversations With God From a popular pastor and radio hostThree Free Sins teaches that the only people who make any progress toward being better are those who know that God will still love them, regardless of how good they are.This book is about the misguided obsession with the management of sin that cripples too many Christians. Its about the view that religion is all about sinabout how to hide side sin or how to stop sinning all together.In the Introduction, the author toys good-naturedly with an agitated caller on his radio program, teasing him in a segment where he offers three free sins. The offer is real. Not that Steve has the power to forgive sins, but he wants to make the point that Jesus has made the offer to cover all of our sins not just three.Chapter one, titled Teaching Frogs to Fly, is even better. The gist of this chapter is that you cant teach frogs to fly, just like you cant teach people not to sin. Steve tells a story about a guy who has a frog, and hes convinced he can teach the frog how to fly. The man keeps throwing the frog up in the air or up against walls all to the poor frogs demise. The message is that even though people can be better, they can never not sinjust like a frog can never learn to fly, no matter how much pressure is put on it.Steve continues through the book to show readers that while they can never manage sin, they can relax in knowing that they are completely forgivennot just of three, but of all.
