Are we a modern day Jonah?

Sometimes not saying something you ought to say constitutes a lie. But a sin of omission goes far beyond withholding information that a  person deserves to know. A sin of omission can come in the form of failing to do what we have been called to do or say.

In other words, if Scripture commands us to share the Gospel with someone, and we deliberately don’t when presented with the opportunity, we commit a sin of omission.

After all, to omit means to leave out. If we leave out our duty to follow what Scripture says, we commit a sin.
