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 recommitment 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...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
