Sinful zeal doth make men doubly sinful.
Job's unraveling wasn't wrong or sinful; rather, it was emotionally realistic.
We are not the healers, we are not the reconcilers, we are not the givers of life. We are sinful, broken, vulnerable people who need as much care as anyone we care for.
A sinful heart makes feeble hand.
Even for the most excitable preacher, there was nothing inherently sinful about a waffle.

To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. . . A wise and frugal government. . . shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. . .

Do not scrutinize so closely whether you are doing much or little, ill or well, so long as what you do is not sinful and that you are heartily seeking to do everything for God. Try as far as you can to do everything well, but when it is done, do not think about it. Try, rather, to think of what is to be done next. Go on simply in the Lord's way, and do not torment yourself. We ought to hate our faults, but with a quiet, calm hatred; not pettishly and anxiously.
It is sinful for students to badmouth their teachers and sinful for teachers to mislead their students.
