Has the 'notion of sin' been lost? - USATODAY.com

Has the 'notion of sin' been lost? - USATODAY.com: “Is sin dead? No, not by a long shot. Yet as Easter approaches, some pastors and theologians worry: How can Christians celebrate Jesus' atonement for their sins and the promise of eternal life in his resurrection if they don't recognize themselves as sinners?”

Here it is — Holy Week. The attendance at all our Holy Week services and activities combined do not equal the number of people we have on Christmas Eve. People seem to love to gather around a newborn baby. But the whole meaning of Christmas is lost without the events of Holy Week and Easter. Does the idea that Christ died for our sins mean anything to us today? These are some of the issues asked in this news article.
