Confession

by Pam No Comments

We Protestants, no matter the flavor, don’t do confession well. We assume it’s supposed to include the trappings that our Roman Catholic friends add, and we avoid it. We also don’t talk much about what the penalty for sin is, whether that’s sin in general, or our specific sin, my specific sin. Sometimes it’s even easy to think that my sin is no big deal. But I remember 1 John 1:8 – If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

I used this Lenten season for a time of confession, recognizing that though it was the Romans that struck the blows, it was for my sin. It was so that God’s wrath against my treachery would be punished that Jesus walked the road to Golgatha with that cross on His back. Though He was sinless, He paid the price for my guilt.

Lord, as I confess my sin, let me recognize the great price that was paid for it. Let me not take it lightly. By the grace that was poured out, Lord, and by the power of your Spirit, may I live rightly. Amen.

About Me

Welcome to this little corner of the world. A place where we can come together and encourage one another to be filled with the only thing that truly matters and the only thing that truly satisfies. My prayer would be that here you would find things that point to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

And so, welcome to my “Gathering Place.” A place where we are encouraged to be in God’s word, where our faces are turned upward, and our hearts lightened.

I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.

Job 23:12b
