Leviticus 5:1–13

About this episode
We live in an age that has declared war on the very concept of guilt. Our therapeutic culture has done everything in its power to rename it, redefine it, medicate it, or explain it away. Guilt is now a complex, a syndrome, a neurosis, a product of a repressive upbringing. It is anything and everything except what the Bible says it is: the objective state of a creature who has violated the law of his Creator. And because we have rejected the biblical definition of guilt, we have consequently rejected the only possible remedy for it. Modern man is like a patient who rips up the MRI showing a tumor because he doesn't like the look of it, and then wonders why he is still sick. He tries to assuage his guilt with frantic activity, with political crusades, with self-help mantras, with endless distractions.
