How could I, a person who often rails against sin, not be excited these days? The Vatican has upped the ante with some new "sins." As if we didn't have enough to worry about from a sin perspective, here's more. I especially like the one about not "polluting." Does that mean we can't drive our cars anymore? Do we have to stop using plastic bags at the grocery? What? No more hair spray? And what about those plastic rings that hold the six pack of cans (Coke, of course)? How do we get rid of those things without sinning?
If one believes God experiences a laugh now and again, He must be laughing now. One thing I know for absolute sure -- if sin is involved, the blood of Jesus Christ my Savior is sufficient to cleanse and make righteous every heart. His death on Calvary solved the sin problem - pollution and all.

Nothing but a "clever" way to contemporize the same old sin. Given the modern cultural, scientific and technological realities, unregenerate hearts that would do harm to their neighbors find these modes in which to do so today.
In my opinion, this kind of thing just goes to show you that when we dress God's Word up in our clever little packages, it often only makes the watching world laugh, rather than stand up and take notice. Thorough, thoughtful and Gospel-of-Christ-centered exposition and application of the Word of God is what God uses to convict us of our sins and bring us to life and sanctify us to live a life of love toward God and our neighbors. It may not grab headlines, like our creative packaging, but it is all the more effective.
John,
You are on track, as usual. As I sometimes say to folks, "don't come to our Church looking for something new. We just do the same thing over and over; exposition of the Word."
Christian
