We begin August’s theme of Vice by looking at the effect of sin in our lives overall. On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church Florence in South Carolina shares his sermon, “The Burden of Sin is Real.” The burden of sin can really weigh us down, but it doesn’t have to keep us from reaching Christ. Holy Confession is a blessed opportunity to unload our burden before the Altar of God. As members of the Body of Christ we assist each other bear the burden of our sins so we can reach our goal of living with God in Heaven.
