WHEN SIN CHANGES ITS NAME

One of the greatest deceptions of our generation is not that sin exists, but that we've changed its name.

We no longer call it sin. We call it a "mistake," a "poor choice," an "alternative lifestyle," "being true to myself," "adult entertainment," "living together before marriage," "recreational drug use," "stretching the truth," "harmless gossip," "anger issues," or simply "being human."

Why? Because changing the label often helps ease the conviction.

We tell ourselves, "Nobody's perfect." "God understands." "It's only a little sin." "Everyone else is doing it." Yet these comforting phrases stand in direct contradiction to the Word of God.

The Bible mentions sin, sinful, sinner, or related variants approximately 772 times, and never once presents sin in a positive light. That alone should cause us to pause and reflect.

Sin destroys marriages. Sin destroys families. Sin destroys ministries, nations, reputations, and souls. The enemy's oldest strategy remains unchanged: make sin appear harmless until its consequences become unavoidable.

The truth is not popular, but it remains true: "For the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).

Yet there is hope.

Jesus Christ hates sin, but He loves the sinner. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). God did not send His Son to affirm our sin, but to save us from it.

The question each of us must answer is not, "How much sin can I get away with?" but rather, "What must I do to be right with God?"

Today, if the Holy Spirit is speaking to your heart, do not ignore His voice. Eternity is too long, and the price of deception is too high.

  🎉 A Birthday, A Ministry, A Mission: 67 Years of Life & 28 Years of Service 🎉 This Sunday, August 17 , I’ll be celebrating my 67th birthday —a milestone that fills my heart with gratitude to God. 🎂 But this celebration is more than candles on a cake; it represents a life poured out in service to Christ and to others. For 28 years of ministry , the Lord has given me the privilege of preaching, teaching, encouraging, and serving people across nations. For 21 years , my family and I ministered in Italy , where we saw God’s hand at work in ways that humbled us daily. Today, our journey has brought us to the Philippines , where we continue to serve as missionaries—bringing the light of Christ to communities that desperately need hope. 🌍 As I look back, I see God’s faithfulness in every step of the way. And as I look forward, I see opportunities—big opportunities—for impact, outreach, and transformation. 🌟 Why This Birthday Is Different This year, instead of asking for g...

  📚 Blogspot.com Blog Post Title: Educated But Lost: What Are We Really Learning in Today’s Classrooms? Link: pomitaly.homestead.com "There is no fool like an educated fool." My grandmother used to say that often. Back then, it sounded harsh—maybe even confusing. But as the years passed and the culture shifted, I began to see just how prophetic her words were. We live in an age of advanced degrees and empty hearts. Knowledge is abundant, but wisdom is scarce. Schools boast record-high enrollment, but biblical values are at an all-time low. And tragically, many of today’s educational institutions—public schools, secular colleges, and yes, even some so-called Christian universities—have abandoned truth in favor of ideology. They don’t educate; they indoctrinate. 📉 From Education to Indoctrination Modern education has drifted from equipping young minds with knowledge to conditioning them with agendas. The curriculum has become riddled with ideologies that are: ...

  🌟 WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? — A WORD FOR TODAY 🌟 There comes a moment in every life when the heart whispers—or cries—those familiar words: “What am I going to do?” Maybe you’ve said them recently. Maybe you’ve said them today. But the real question is this: What do you do when the one asking… is you? 📖 Psalm 46:1 reminds us: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” And Numbers 23:19 assures us of something unshakeable: “God is not a man that He should lie…” So let’s walk this journey together: 1️⃣ STEP ONE: Push Past Human Reasoning The “I can’t,” the “God won’t,” the “No one cares”—these are shadows, not truth. Your feelings may shout, but God’s Word speaks louder . 2️⃣ STEP TWO: Examine the Heart Are there sins to confess? Places where you’ve drifted? Come honestly—without presumption, without self-made theology—as David said: “Against Thee, and Thee alone, have I sinned.” Repent. Receive forgiveness. Then refuse to let self-condemnation stea...
