I also need to (attempt to) upgrade Wordpress. Ick.

Of First Importance: (I like this quote:)
“Spiritual experience that does not arise from God’s word is not Christian experience. . . . Not all that passes for Christian experience is genuine. An authentic experience of the Spirit is an experience in response to the gospel. Through the Spirit the truth touches our hearts, and that truth moves our emotions and effects our wills.”

Evil or Sinful?
In the wake of the most recent shootings, I’ve been pondering a few things.
According to Scripture, we all sin. Does that make us evil? Or does it make us sinful?
Is there a difference, either according to definition, or functionally?
Are people evil? Or do sinful people do evil things?
