Where does sin come from? This may be the deepest of all metaphysical questions, and this is answered in this message based on Jesus' words in Mark 7. Kevin Swanson draws a distinction between the first cause of sinful events and the source of sin, and important distinction that the Bible also maintains.
This resolves some of the tension in the argument presented by those that cavil against the absolute sovereignty of God. How can God be sovereign over evil events such as the consumption of a fruit in a garden 6000 years ago, while at the same time absolved of all moral responsibility?
Kevin ends the message with an exhortation to focus on heart issues in the discipleship of our own children. If the heart is the source of all defilement, then we better be working with hearts everyday in our homes.
