On a bubble-bursting mission (3) The “You’re a sinner” approach

Let us take a glance at one last satanic endeavour in shackling down the believer from being active and a person of high aspirations.

The “You’re sinful” approach

He’ll silently whisper: “I agree .. you do have talents .. and yes, you do have a bit of knowledge .. but neither of them will benefit you because you are a sinner!
