Respectable sins

I plan to say something about sin at our Lent Course this week. I thought it might be worth thinking about what sins we tend to think of as almost acceptable, understandable, and not a big deal as Christians. I've jotted down the list of sins considred in Jerry Bridges' book, Respectable Sins:

Ungodliness
Anger and frustration
Discontentment
Unthankfulness
Pride
Selfishness
Lack of self-control
Impatience and irritability
Anger
Judgementalism
Envy, jealousy etc.
Sins of the tongue
Worldliness

With a moment's thought it's a challenging list.
