Sinning Saints: And Their Treasured Transgressions

I asked an active church member how she liked the visiting evangelist she had heard the night before. She replied, "I did not care for him. He used a lot of scripture nobody ever preaches on."

This book may well suffer a similar criticism; it is filled with scripture nobody ever preaches about.

It is important to understand two things in reading it:

One, the word 'saint' is used loosely, and technically incorrect in many cases. Since the Bible refers to all believers as 'saints,' you would have to accept present day church members as 'saints,' if you assume they are all true believers.

Second, the morality contained here is only for genuine Christians. Everyone else is expected to indulge in these transgressions. They are only doing what sinners are supposed to do.

Many believers will discover they are guilty of things they never heard were wrong. God will wink at this, but after learning what the Bible says, they must repent and accept God's cleansing and power of deliverance.
