The great state of Tex-afornia

Sin: Redefined
I was reading Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell yesterday and I came across this quote. Since I don't have the book in front of me here my paraphrase.

Your life's pursuit is to be the person God made you to be, anything that get's in the way of that is Sin, and you need to remove it.

What an interesting way viewing sin. Sin isn't just the moral problems I have. It isn't just the laziness in my spirituality. It isn't just anger and jealousy. Sin in my life is whatever I have in my life that causes me to seek to please other people. It causes me to be too busy. Sin is what makes me fake and inauthentic. This is just a refreshing way to think about it. What are your thoughts?
