"i AM"... The Original Blueprint

Maturing is a necessary aspect of the human experience. All beginners need the fundamentals to get started. Principles and Standards are fundamentals that help give direction toward a destination. Biblical scriptures serve as principles and standards providing direction in the way we should go. Scripture points to a person and is eventually converted to a voice. That voice begins to supersede principle and standard to improve clarity with precise instructions.

When we think about sin, we oftentimes limit sin to the result of sin. Things such as lying, stealing, drunkenness, sexual immorality, dissensions, hatred, greed, adultery, selfishness and so forth.
