This talk called “Whatever Happened to the ‘S’ Word?” was delivered in 2003 at The Evangelists Conference held in the UK. In it Pete describes the white washing of sin that has occurred in our culture. Sin has been reduced to behaviorism and sinners have been recast as victims of their environment. With speed and passion Pete describes the seriousness of sin using both cultural references (like Pulp Fiction and Silence of the Lambs and shampoo commercials) and biblical grounding (the Genesis 3 account). Throughout he is engaging and enthusiastic. Though he does not share the solution to sin (that was the next person’s job during the conference) he builds a case that before one repents and accepts Jesus as Christ we are all sinners and if we do not include the conviction of sin in our evangelism we are chopping the arms and legs off the gospel.
