Sin | Dont's vs. Dos

"Sin" is an ugly and unpopular word these days, and for good reason. So much harm has been done, by Christians arguing over what is and isn't sin. We preach about it, sing about it, pray about it, and warn others to avoid it all costs. But, when it really comes down to it, what exactly is sin? To sin is actually an archery term (yep, bows and arrows!) from Old English, meaning to "miss the mark" or "fail to hit the bullseye". But is it possible that we've missed the mark entirely when it comes to the conversation about sin? Would we have a better chance of actually hitting the bullseye if we stopped focusing on all the ways there are to miss it, and just kept our eyes on the bullseye itself?
