Confession

The Forgiveness of Sins 

March 9, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Confession, Fellowship, Forgiveness, Gospel
My daughters are all adults now, but when they were younger, they loved the movie The Princess Bride. All I remember about the movie are certain phrases that were repeated over and over. The word inconceivable is one example. One of the characters misused it on various occasions. Once, after he said it, another character

Being Honest with God (Ps 51:6)

February 1, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - 1 John 1:8-9, Bathsheba, Confession, Second Samuel 12
The background to Psalm 51 is well-known. David had committed adultery and, as a result, murder, when he had Bathsheba’s husband killed. After some time, the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to confront the king with his sins. Nathan used a parable to show the evil that David had done. When David heard the parable,

Confessing Sin Vs. Excusing Sin 

May 13, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Confession, Sin
Family life—at least our family life—involves a lot of confession. Certainly, my wife and I confess our sins to each other (and I seem to have to do that more frequently than her). I also regularly confess when I’ve done something wrong to the kids—usually blowing my top and yelling. I ask them to forgive

Confess Your Sins to One Another (James 5:16)

May 21, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - church life, Confession, Discipleship, ecclesiology, James, one another commands, spiritual theology
“Honestly, I didn’t want to join a Bible study,” the young mother admitted to the group. “I didn’t want to be around perfect people with perfect lives…Then I found you weirdos!” I think it is comforting to know you’re in a “hospital for the sick, not a social club for saints.” A “thick” Christian community

Confession, Not Deflection (Genesis 3:11-13; 1 John 1:9)

April 3, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Confession, fall, Genesis, scapegoat, Sin
Do you find it easy to take responsibility for your sins, or is your knee-jerk reaction to try and shift the blame to others? If you look up the term “deflection” or “blame-shifting,” most of the articles will tell you that it is a psychological disorder that characterizes narcissists and psychopaths. And many of those

Confession and Consequences

August 9, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - 1 John, Confession, fellowship forgiveness
Sin has more than one consequence. On the one hand, it can break or hinder your fellowship with God. On the other hand, it can have consequences for you in this life. The man who gets drunk at work, not only loses his intimacy with God—he can also get fired. And the woman who covets

Confession and Fellowship with God

September 1, 2016 by GES Webmaster in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Confession, Fellowship, theology
Confession of sins is a vital element in the Christian’s walk with God. And no verse is more important in this regard than 1 John 1:9. In the following article excerpted from his commentary on 1-3 John, Zane has given us a wonderful explanation of this key verse. Editor. by Zane Hodges If we confess
