"To deny sin is bad news, indeed," wrote John Alexander. Continuing, he said, "The only good news is sin itself. Sin is the best news there is, the best news that there could be in our predicament. Because with sin, there's a way out. There's the possibility of repentance. You can't repent of confusion or psychological flaws inflicted by your parents—you're stuck with them. But you can repent of sin. Sin and repentance are the only grounds for hope and joy, the grounds for reconciled, joyful relationships."[i] [i] John Alexander in The Other Side, as quoted by Christianity Today, February 9, 1998.
