It really is a great question and that is this. If I'm doing something and it's private, and yeah, it's called a sin in the Bible or people consider it a sin or whatever, but it doesn't affect anybody else, then how is it wrong? I mean, it's a great question.

What about private things? I mean, not hurting anybody else. What's the problem? Well, I think here's

the problem. You're wrong that it doesn't affect other people because it does. The idea that there is such a

thing as private sin isn't true. This is my point of view because I've experienced this myself.

Like, I become less of the brant than I need to be for other people. I don't become more

brand. I become more impatient, more frustrated with people, less act, apt to be graceful.

I have less energy for people.

I collapse inward.

I tend to become more depressed myself.

I just, I don't, I'm not who I should be.

And you can say, well, it's not affecting anybody else.

Oh, yes, it is because there may be a neighbor who I'm not going to talk to now,

who really needs me, or a friend friend or my wife or my kids and to say well it's private. There's no such

thing as private sin. It's a myth because you're not the you that you should be and that other people

need you to be. We were just talking about this. It is true. The idea that there's private sin, that's a myth,

because nothing's private. Even if nobody knows about something you're doing, it affects you,

and you, I can say this about me. I become more angry, I become more bitter, I become somebody who's not as patient as I would be otherwise.

And what do you think it's causing that in people?

It's, it's, sin kills.

And it makes you less of what you should be.

This is why God is, who's for you, he's for me, he's on my side, He wants me to be the Brandt that I was designed to be.
