Brian Johnson argues that sin means missing a target, but the real problem is not setting one at all. He says we should live with intention and express Christ within us, instead of letting social media and streaming distract us from what matters.
Our job is to, from my vantage point, be a good steward of this body, of this life, allow the divine to come through as Richard Rohr and Desmond Tutu described. We're just these tiny little light bulbs. But our job is to remain screwed into the divine universal power. And you're not doing your job, dude. And it is sinful in the purest etymological sense for you to eat like crap, for you to overindulge in social media. To sin etymologically means to miss the mark. It's a term of archery. So there's a target, and if you miss the target, you sinned. But you know what the biggest sin is? To never set a target. That's way worse than missing the target. If you haven't decided that your ultimate target is to live with arte, to express the Christ within yourself, that's the ultimate sin. And again, the reason we're not doing that is because we're so distracted by what's on Instagram and what's on Netflix and fill in the blank on the latest TikTok thing everybody needs to watch. You want to pull a lever that.
