Unconfessed Sin


We all have sinned; some of us harbor unconfessed sin though which interferes with the way we think of, and commune with God. This is not good since we will likely stop listening and praying to God when we try to hide our sins from Him. We tend to avoid Him so we don’t have to deal with that “secret” sin. Remember how Adam tried to hide his sin in the Garden of Eden? We can, thanks to our wonderful, Lord Jesus, re-open our wonderful channels to God through our confession and repentance. We don’t ever want to be separated from Him. We can always trust God to forgive us of our sins because He said He would when we ask Him to. Once we have confessed our sin to Him we will be forgiven and we can again rely on His leading us in our loving, grateful service to Him. By our confession we rededicate our lives to Him.

Is there some unconfessed sin in your life? What is separating you from God? This is your time for re-dedication, take the time to pray and confess any hidden sin to God. (Psalm 32:1-4) Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, / whose sin is covered. / Blessed be the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, / and in whose spirit there is no deceit. God has promised to forgive us of all our sins. From time to time we may slip away from God. Now is the time to commit your heart to obedience to God’s Word. Take the time to share your re-commitment with another Christian who will pray with you. Fellow Christians are our great encouragers and God wants us to be joined together with them.

The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans wrote; Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts (Romans 6:11, 12).

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
