I still believe the best approach to the “sin” problem is to define it. Most people regardless of their generation will not call themselves “bad” people which the “archaic” term “sinner” implies. However, everyone I have met in my years and in my travels, claims to be the boss or authority of their own lives. This idea praticed was, is and always will be sin. If anyone beside the Sovereign God of the universe is calling the shots, sin abounds. I can even be doing something “good” but do it on my own authority…it is sin. I believe Millennials will be perfectly fine with their prof. being a “sinner.” What does it matter to them? Who are they to “judge”? You could call yourself a “hula-hoop” and maybe get a smirk or two, but it won’t change a thing.

But I am saying nothing you don’t already know…Keep up the good fight brother.

Here’s to sin!

Interesting — I like your approach of putting the “sinner” label on yourself to make them think about whether or not they should do the same. But what happens when that doesn’t resonate?

I’m going to play Paul Harvey here, but now we need “the rest of the story”. Please post how the class responded. This is a great lesson in sharing the gospel with millennials.
