Today, we might frequently associate the word "sin" with decadent desserts, but the true nature of sin is very different. It has to do with life priorities. Citing the theologian Augustine, New York Times columnist David Brooks says that by ranking the things that we love, we have a better chance of living up to our higher morality.

"We all love a lot of things," David says. "We love family. We love money. We love a little affection. Status. Truth. And we all know that some loves are higher. We know that our love of family is higher than our love of money. Or our love of truth should be higher than our love of money. And if we're lying to get money, we're putting our loves out of order."

Find out why David believes there's danger in putting your loves in the wrong order.
