How did you rate yourself in the examination <strong>of</strong> the charts on sexual sins, sins against God, and<br />

sins against other? Were you honest in your self-evaluation? If you marked yes in even one sin, then<br />

you must begin to change today. Even a dark room <strong>of</strong> just one sin is still sin. Engaging in that sin<br />

can still cost you your soul.<br />

Discussion:<br />

All <strong>of</strong> the sins listed in the chart <strong>Sin</strong>s Against Others can be categorized in one <strong>of</strong> two categories:<br />

Unloving and/or selfish. Using the work area on the next page, list each <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sin</strong>s Against Others<br />

in the corresponding column. Note: Some sins could fall within both categories.<br />
